Awards and Recognitions

We are proud to have achieved the Green Tourism Bronze Award, recognising our commitment to operating Logie Newton Lodges in a more sustainable way. 

From generating renewable energy through our on-farm wind turbines and battery storage system to using locally sourced materials, refillable toiletries and supporting local businesses, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. 

This award reflects our ongoing efforts to minimise our environmental impact while creating exceptional countryside escapes for our guests. We are  working towards completing the paperwork for upgrading to Gold.

We were blown away to be included in such a prestigious award in our very first year. It’s incredible to see our commitment to A-rated eco-lodges, renewable energy, biodiversity and strong local partnerships being recognised, and we’re excited to keep growing sustainable tourism in Aberdeenshire.

This list was announced in November 2024, when our Lodges were launched. To be recognised amongst such a fantastic list of women in tourism at such an early stage in my tourism journey was an honour.
