Ellel Scotland is based at Blairmore House, which is nestled in the stunning Highland countryside. It’s a much loved venue because of its isolation from the world, yet insulated with God’s love, care and peace for those who come here. It’s a place of safety and refuge for the hurting and as well a popular centre of training for those seeking keys in deeper healing prayer ministry.
Blairmore House truly is a place set apart by God, and we believe with all our heart that He is fulfilling a Kingdom purpose with us in these urgent days. As an Ellel Centre we are committed to welcoming, teaching and praying for healing as the Lord has commissioned us. In addition we feel that Blairmore is a strategic place for rest, for intercession, for Israel, for leaders and for deep healing. As you browse this page, we invite you to do so prayerfully as God might be drawing you here to meet with you in a deep and personal way. Our team would love to welcome you here and be part of what God is doing in your life. Hope to see you soon!
Ellel Scotland has found its home at Blairmore House, a stately property nestled in the North-East of Scotland’s stunning countryside. Built originally as a family home by a local laird back in 1884 it was lovingly restored to its original beauty in the 1990s by a business man, after having been a boarding school. It was as if God’s care and attention went into the very fabric of the premises – so many guests comment how the Lord has touched their hearts through the unique nature of the house.
Blairmore is hidden away in a beautiful 26-acre property with gardens and mixed woodlands. The restful setting makes for feeling like you are safely hidden away; safe to come to God just as you are, whoever you are! God invites us, “Arise… come with me…in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice.” (Song of Songs 2:13-14)
Many people tell us that they feel as if at Blairmore there is an open heaven, a place to pray and hear from the Lord; we hope and pray that will be your experience too.
Ellel Scotland offers a uniquely intimate and warm environment that is ideally suited to holiday & ministry retreats and courses that focus on deeper healing ministry.
Retreats in Scotland are different to those in other centres – discover our Inspirational Weeks, which offer walking and creative holidays. Our Still Water retreats are popular times of personal devotion and contemplation in our tranquil surroundings. As well as retreats, we also run free day events.
For longer courses, we run Transform, originally held at Ellel Glyndley Manor, a three-week course filled with fellowship, encouragement, guidance and prayer to help you move forward into the life God has planned for you.
The Highlands of Scotland is an ideal place to retreat to, and receive from the Lord. See below for more details on our longer and shorter courses – Ellel Scotland is sure to have a course to suit you, whatever point you are at on your Christian journey.
Our main longer term course is Transform that lasts three-weeks, filled with fellowship, encouragement, guidance and prayer to help you move forward into the life God has planned for you. Scotland also invites 18-25’s for Undivided, which is Ellel’s young adult gap-year programme. It’s a superb opportunity to serve, receive teaching, and be mentored in discipleship.
How amazing would it be if you could spend three weeks with God, in a safe and encouraging place, filled with fellowship, encouragement, guidance and prayer to help you move forward into the life God has planned for you? Transform is Ellel’s longest retreat-style event which aims to help you live your life as God intended.
Transform is a carefully laid out programme, designed to allow you to get the best out of your time investment. There will be lots of opportunity to receive through the team that will come alongside you. There will be plenty of time for fun, fellowship, many and varied activities but most importantly also time to be with God and to hear from His heart.
At Ellel Scotland we run Undivided, which is an amazing year-long opportunity for 18-25’s to set themselves apart for a year to serve others in Christian ministry, receive life-shaping biblical teaching and enjoy fun and fellowship with new friends from around the world! If you are passionate about Jesus, long to live for Him with an undivided heart and want to share His life-transforming love with others, this is for you.
The program is completely free and will be an unforgettable experience. For those that join, you will be part of an exciting spiritual adventure, growing your faith, nurturing your spiritual and practical gifting and will be actively expressing your Christian life in very real ways. Alongside group bible studies, prayer times and recreation, there will also be many opportunities to serve, including worship times, house duties, maintenance, cooking, administration and media.
From free 1-day courses to week long retreat events, Ellel Scotland offers a host of opportunities to discover new teaching and receive refreshment from the Lord allowing you to connect deeper with Him. Time away at Blairmore House also offers often precious times of fellowship with other believers on the same journey of faith, healing and training. See the below tabs for more information.
