The Fife Arms, the award-winning hotel located in the village of Braemar, in the heart of the Scottish Cairngorms Mountains, has added a new bedroom inspired by fashion designer Gabrielle Bonheur ‘Coco’ Chanel, whose connection to the fabrics and pastimes of the Highlands inspired her legendary collections. Akin to the nest of an exotic bird, the bedroom pays homage to this free-spirited and wild character who first came to Scotland in the 1920s during her romance with Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster. Over the next decade, Chanel fell in love with the culture of the Highlands and became an avid fisherwoman and a renowned fly fisher.
