A Fife holiday lodge has become a hot property after a Tiktok video went viral.
A 59-second clip of Catkin Lodge at Balmeadowside Farm in Parbroath, near Cupar, has been viewed on the social media platform more than 750,000 times.
The video of the ‘romantic lodge overlooking the treetops in Fife’ was posted in June by its owners, local property firm Solid Luxury.
It is a walk-through of the one-bedroom property – one of the company’s six new treetop lodges on Balmeadowside Country Lodges and Cottages, owned by Julie Stephenson.
Video of Fife holiday cottage a big hit on Tiktok
Beginning with the rural road outside the property, the footage shows an outside seating area with private hot tub below the word ‘bubbles’.
Through the patio doors, the video shows Catkin Lodge’s open-plan layout with a living room, dining room and kitchen.
It then displays the super-king-size bed in the bedroom and big shower room next door.
