Project Overview
The project was a ground-up development, with careful attention paid to both the natural setting and the needs of modern holidaymakers. Our team led the works from concept through to completion, blending contemporary comfort with durable, high-quality construction.



Project Highlights:
- Construction of three new-build, two-bedroom lodges, each with spacious open-plan living areas.
- Orientation and layout designed to capture uninterrupted sea views through full-height glazed doors.
- High-spec kitchens and bathrooms, with integrated appliances and modern fittings throughout.
- Warm and inviting interiors featuring timber flooring, coordinated furniture, and soft furnishings.
- Mezzanine-level lounges provide additional living space and architectural interest.
- Fully fitted and finished by R Clouston Ltd for immediate use as luxury holiday accommodation.
Outcome:
The Scapa Flow Lodges have since served as successful holiday lets, showcasing R Clouston Ltd’s ability to deliver complete residential developments — from structural build to final fit-out — with precision, quality, and long-term value.
