World: Hobbit-style hotel opens in Scotland

A fantasy-themed getaway in Perthshire, Scotland, inspired by the Hobbit habitats in J.R.R. Tolkien's Shire from Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, has opened. The hotel has a grass roof entrance, a rustic snuggle chair beside a roaring fire and a spectacular roof dome through which holidaymakers can enjoy the wondrous night sky. It costs less than $25 per person to stay in the place at the foot of a Highlands mountain.
