Myanmar Stoves Campaign A Soneva Foundation initiative, the Myanmar Stoves Campaign is the country's first carbon project with Gold Standard certification. We have subsidised the distribution of more than 36,000 fuel-efficient cooking stoves to families in Myanmar and Darfur. Each stove saves 2.5 tonnes of wood per year, reducing pressure on forests and reducing household expenditure.

Carbon Neutral Holidays in Scotland

At Eagle Brae, we are proud to be one of the few tourism destinations in the world that strives to offer largely carbon-neutral holidays. Committed to sustainable eco-tourism, we are entirely self-sufficient for all our utility and energy needs. We have our own micro-hydro scheme that provides electricity and hot water to all our cabins, while biomass wood-pellet burners provide underfloor heating throughout. Our water is sourced from a natural, sustainable underground supply, treated on-site and gravity fed to all our cabins.

We also invite our guests to plant a tree, whilst with us, to offset the carbon output of their journey to and from Eagle Brae. From £28 you can plan your own tree and/or build your own tree enclosure or plant in one of ours. Scroll down for further information.

We have a standard type 2 EV car charge point and a Tesla car charge point, both at reception, and both free for guest use.

Plant a Tree

A chance for you to either off-set your carbon positive journey to and from Eagle Brae or to remember a special family event by planting a tree whilst you are here. All our trees are grown from seed in our own tree nursery here in Struy. So the trees themselves have been reared with zero carbon miles before they are planted. All trees need to be protected from deer. Therefore they either need their own protective fencing or they need to be planted in an existing fenced exclosure.

The following species of tree are normally available:

Native: Birch, Oak, Rowan, Aspen, Holly, Scots Pine, Hawthorn

Price List

Arrange for Eagle Brae to plant tree for you in existing exclosure: £36.00

Help Eagle Brae team plant a tree in existing exclosure: £28.00

Arrange for Eagle Brae to plant tree with its own protective fencing: £79.00

Help Eagle Brae team plant a tree with its own protective fencing: £69.00

Carbon Payback Scheme

We understand that genuinely carbon neutral holidays are achieved through a sustainable lifestyle. Which is why we encourage all guests to help us reach our carbon neutral goals by conserving water, preserving electricity, using vehicles only when absolutely necessary, and recycling all rubbish where possible. What's more, our Carbon Payback Scheme allows guests to offset any impact their journey to Eagle Brae has made by planting a tree near the Eagle Brae village. That way, guests can rest assured their Highland getaway is not only gentle on the environment, it helps to preserve the environment as well.

Join the Bucuti Team on the next Beach Clean Up
Bucuti's owner and managing director, Ewald Biemans created Aruba's Environmental committee within the Hotel Association in the early 1990's and one of his early projects was "Sponsor-a-Mile" whereby Aruba Hotel Association committed to keeping one mile of beach or roadside clean. The third Wednesday of the month continues to be Bucuti's beach cleaning day and hundreds of Aruba's visitors have participated along the way in partnership with resort staff.
Choose from our Vegan menu at Elements
Eating a vegan diet can be good for the environment for several reasons:

1. Lower carbon footprint: Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, which are a major cause of climate change. By eliminating animal products from your diet, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

2. Reduced land use: Animal agriculture requires vast amounts of land for grazing and growing feed crops. This can lead to deforestation, habitat loss, and soil degradation. By reducing the demand for animal products, we can help to reduce the amount of land needed for animal agriculture.

3. Reduced water use: Animal agriculture is also a major consumer of water, with some estimates suggesting that it can take up to 15,000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef. By eating a vegan diet, you can significantly reduce your water footprint.

4. Reduced pollution: Animal agriculture can also contribute to water pollution through the runoff of animal waste and fertilizers. By reducing the demand for animal products, we can help to reduce this form of pollution.

5. Reduced use of antibiotics: Antibiotics are often used in animal agriculture to prevent disease and promote growth, but this can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. By reducing the demand for animal products, we can help to reduce the use of antibiotics in agriculture.

Overall, eating a vegan diet can have a significant positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, pollution, and the use of antibiotics.
