The Cabot portfolio includes Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada, Cabot Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in British Columbia, Canada, Cabot Citrus Farms in the United States, Cabot Highlands in Scotland, and Cabot Bordeaux in France.

Cabot Highlands
Located in Inverness, Scotland, Cabot Highlands is surrounded by the breathtaking Scottish Highlands and features a rugged landscape that hugs the Moray Firth shoreline. This 420-acre Cabot property is home to the renowned 18-hole Castle Stuart Golf Links, named among the world’s top 100 courses. Acclaimed architect Tom Doak is building a second 18-hole golf course at Cabot Highlands, Old Petty, on a pristine piece of land that plays around the property’s 400-year-old castle. Set to open for preview play in August 2025, the course offers natural contours, meanders along the shoreline, and winds through hillsides and expansive open land. Beyond golf, the destination offers incredible natural beauty and ample outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, fishing, falconry, and horseback riding. The town of Inverness is located ten minutes away and offers opportunities to experience the vibrant Scottish culture through Victorian-era marketplaces, cathedrals, museums and restaurants.
