Welcome to McArthur Manor, a historic country house in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland, on the edge of the Highlands. We’re partnering with Eunmi’s Sound Healing & Yoga for this seven-night yoga retreat in one of the world’s most breathtaking and peaceful regions.
Our days will include daily yoga classes, workshops and sound baths with Eunmi, hiking through the Hermitage, a distillery tour and tasting, as well as day trips to Edinburgh and St. Andrews.
Come away with us and experience the magic!
McArthur Manor is a private Scottish Manor purposefully built for groups who want to spend time together. The Manor resides in the town of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, in a setting that feels private and scenic while still being straightforward to reach, with plenty shops and eateries in walking distance. It is situated where the Lowlands meet the Highlands, and is approximately 75 minutes outside of Edinburgh. Glasgow is also accessible from the Manor, should anyone choose to fly in or out of that city, although we recommend flying to and from Edinburgh for ease.
McArthur Manor has been fully reserved by Lumos for this retreat!

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to McArthur Manor! Once everyone has arrived and is settled in, Eunmi will lead a welcome Yoga flow. We’ll enjoy a family style dinner, and then rest for the next day’s activities!
We’ll start the morning off with Yoga, then enjoy a family style brunch. Enjoy a free day at the Manor, walk into Blairgowrie and explore the town, or join us on a local trail hike around Blairgowrie in the afternoon. Eunmi will lead a yoga workshop in the late afternoon before we come together for a family style dinner.
After morning yoga and brunch, we’ll head out to to Blair Athol Distillery for a tour and tasting. Along the drive, we’ll make stops at the Hermitage (a National Trust for Scotland-protected forest) for a hike, and Pitlochry, the quaint town that is home to Blair Athol Distillery. We’ll return back for a Yoga Flow before family style dinner.
After morning yoga and brunch, we’ll take a day trip down to the historic seaside town of St. Andrews. Known for it’s golf courses, we’re going to hit “The Himalayas” - a putting course on The Old Course. The Himalyas are djacent to the main course on the same peninsula of land, and playing a round on the putting course is one of the top things to do in this town, without having to book a tee time over a year in advance! We’ll return back in the late afternoon for a Yoga Flow before family style dinner.
After morning yoga and brunch, enjoy a free day at the Manor, or walk into Blairgowrie to explore the town. Later in the afternoon, Eunmi will lead a yoga ffffworkshop. We’ll gather for family style dinner at the end of the day.
We have an early start to the week because today we’re heading into Edinburgh for a day trip! The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is a must-visit town when in Scotland. Walk around the medieval Old Town and check out Edinburgh Castle, visit the Scottish National Gallery (holding Scotland’s national collection of fine art), check out the Royal Botanic Garden, or hike Arthur’s Seat for panoramic views - the day is yours! We’ll return back to the manor in the late afternoon, enjoy a family-style dinner, and wind down with Restorative Yoga.
After morning yoga and brunch, your final day in Scotland awaits! Relax, go for a walk in town, or play a round of golf at a nearby club! We’ll offer a late afternoon Sound Bath to conclude the retreat, before our final family-style dinner.
We’ll gather for one final yoga class in the morning to conclude the retreat, and after brunch we’ll depart from the Manor.
