Hi, I’m Heidi the creator and founder of Aurora Retreats and The Aurora Range sheepskins
My journey began here on the Isle of Skye, a place where the wild, untamed Atlantic landscape meets a profound, quiet stillness. I created Aurora Retreats to be a sanctuary—a place where you can escape the noise of the world and reconnect with nature from the warmth of a perfectly curated space.
It was within the walls of these retreats that The Aurora Range of sheepskins was born. I wanted to capture that feeling of "cozy luxury"—that specific, grounded comfort you feel when the wind is howling outside and you are wrapped in the soft, natural warmth of an ethically sourced sheepskin.
Whether you are here to book a stay in one of our retreats or to find the perfect piece to bring a touch of the Highlands into your own home, you have my personal promise of quality, transparency, and heart. I believe that luxury should never cost the earth, and every item—just like every guest experience—is selected with care, respect for our traditions, and a love for this beautiful island.
Thank you for being part of this story. I look forward to welcoming you to the retreat, or helping you find a piece of Skye to call your own.

Living here on the Isle of Skye, right near the edge of the world at Neist Point Lighthouse, you learn very quickly to respect the elements. I spend so much of my time out on those cliffs, surrounded by the wild wind and the sheep that roam freely across the hills. There’s a specific kind of magic here, but there’s also a deep, bracing cold!
It was those long hikes around Neist Point that really inspired me. I found myself coming home and craving a certain kind of warmth—a soft, natural sanctuary to sink into.
I started sourcing these beautiful sheepskins first for my own fireside, and then for my guests who come to stay at my Aurora Rural Retreats. I wanted them to have that same "hug" of coziness after a day of exploring the island. Seeing how much they loved them made me realize I wanted to share this feeling with the rest of the world.
So, I created the Aurora Range. sheepskin Skye inspired
I’ve spent so much time lovingly curating, choosing each piece—sourced from British hill sheep, designed to bring a bit of our rugged island comfort into your home. It’s a little piece of my Skye living from my home to yours.
Lovingly sent to you from Skye
