The romantic 'treetop' Scottish holiday lodge where tourists 'want to live forever'
A video of a gorgeous Scottish getaway has gone massively viral on TikTok, racking up 750,000 views since it was first posted.
The clip of "treetop" holiday cottage Catkin Lodge was shared by owners Solid Luxury and it's since become their most viral video to date.
In the video, you get a wee tour of the enchanting property, which showcases its super king size bed, spacious shower room and open plan kitchen, living, dining area. As well as the all important hot tub with forest views, of course.

The idyllic staycation retreat is also dog friendly, with visitors allowed to take two or three dogs with them - although it depends on their size. Three small or medium dogs are fine, but the compact lodge would probably feel a bit too crowded if you took three Great Danes!
The viral footage has racked up 243 comments so far, with many people praising the lodge's cute design and stunning views.
A builder who specialises in similar properties said: "Being a builder and having built a few of these lately, I have to say that the finish looks great and well done."
One guest who visited in the past wrote: "One of the best cabins we have ever stayed in," while another fan said: "I would just like to live here forever.
Catkin Lodge is one of several holiday lets at Balmeadowside Farm near Cupar in Fife. Local company Solid Luxury started out in 2007 with four lodges, which expanded to nine lodges in 2013. The larger, more luxurious Treetop Lodges, of which Catkin is one of six, were added in 2023.
They've since expanded to several other locations in Scotland, including Drumfork Estate in Perthshire, Conifer Lodges in Dumfries and Galloway, and Kiltarlity Lodges in Inverness-shire, which feature log-fired, Scandinavian style hot tubs.
The company don't just offer cosy wee lodges like Catkin either. They range from these gorgeous one-bed lodges up to six-bedroom farmhouses in the Scottish countryside with the newest of these, Little Kenny Farmhouse, opening in July this year.
Solid Luxury spokesperson Emma Carroll told the Daily Record: "Balmeadowside is a working farm so guests can see the cattle and deer (guests can also add our own venison to their bookings, burgers, pies, steaks etc). They can also see if the llamas fancy a carrot and feed our pygmy goats."
Sounds good to us.
