As Celebrity Traitors returns to screens, fans of the psychological reality show can now take the intrigue off-screen and into the wild Scottish Highlands. Thanks to Cookson Adventures, two private estates — Aldourie Castle and Glenfeshie Lodge — are offering fully immersive “Traitors-style” experiences where deception, alliances, and high-stakes strategy play out against some of Scotland’s most dramatic backdrops.
Aldourie Castle, perched on the southern shores of Loch Ness, offers the ultimate game setting. The 17th-century castle, meticulously restored as a private residence, blends historical opulence with eccentric detail — from turret-top bedrooms and concealed passages to atmospheric dining halls perfect for tense round-table inquests. Cookson Adventures transforms the castle into a living gameboard, complete with actor-led missions, surprise reveals, and midnight challenges that test players’ intuition and nerve.
Further north, Glenfeshie Lodge in the Cairngorms National Park offers a wilder twist. The 19th-century lodge sits deep within a private estate where isolation and natural grandeur heighten the drama. Guests are drawn into bespoke, multi-day adventures featuring outdoor challenges and narrative twists — from paramotoring over the glen to decoding wilderness clues or navigating lochs by e-foil to reach hidden rendezvous points. Here, every decision carries weight, and every alliance could turn.
Cookson Adventures specializes in crafting these immersive, actor-led experiences that merge storytelling with exploration. Each itinerary evolves in real time — guests may encounter planted actors posing as staff, “poisoned” sweets, or even staged kidnappings. Every moment is documented by a professional film crew, turning each game into a cinematic memory.
For fans of The Traitors, or for groups seeking something far beyond traditional travel — whether families, friends, or leadership teams — Aldourie and Glenfeshie offer the rare opportunity to step into a world of intrigue and imagination. In these Highlands, the line between reality and roleplay all but disappears.
