Kieran
Kieran shaped Àite from a belief that Scottish stays should have character, care and a real sense of place. His Outer Hebridean roots and Gaelic-speaking family keep Scotland close to the heart of the work.
About Àite
A sense
of place.
Rooted in Scotland. Made for the way people live, work and travel through it.
The name
Àite
means place.
Àite is Scots Gaelic for a place or location. It felt right for a business built around the places people stay, and the feeling a good place can leave with you.
Kieran’s family roots reach the Outer Hebrides, and Gaelic speakers are part of his family. That connection sits alongside a deep, practical love of Scotland and its many different places.
