Haar Sauna, a trailblazer in bringing Scandinavian sauna culture to Scotland, is thrilled to announce a successful funding raise of £15,000. Founded in August 2021 by Callum Scott and Hannah Mary Goodlad, the company has already made significant strides in connecting people with nature and enhancing wellbeing through the transformative power of deep heat. The journey began in Aberdeen with the innovative conversion of a recycled horsebox into Scotland’s first outdoor mobile sauna, offering a unique, immersive experience to guests and creating a new revenue model through the sale of sauna sessions. This venture not only set the stage for a burgeoning business but also sparked a passion for sustainable, nature-connected wellbeing that continues to drive the enterprise forward.
The recent funding milestone comes at an exciting time for the company, which became a limited company in October 2023. With the launch of their new fixed location at St. Ninian’s Beach in Shetland—one of Scotland’s most famous scenic destinations—Haar Sauna is poised to offer both locals and tourists an even more accessible and memorable sauna experience. The funds raised will be dedicated to further enhancing the outdoor sauna experience, with planned improvements including state-of-the-art heating technology, eco-friendly infrastructure upgrades, and expanded community outreach programs. Haar Sauna is committed to forging deeper connections between people and nature, and this investment is a significant step toward realizing their mission of fostering wellness and sustainable living across Scotland. As Haar Sauna expands its horizons, it remains dedicated to sharing the rejuvenating benefits of Scandinavian sauna culture with an ever-growing audience.
