Thing's to do

When you stay with us you'll find  large selection of leaflets and information in the cottage giving you ideas of where to go and what to do but these are a couple of our favourite "to do's".

 

West Highland Railway Line

A trip on the West Highland line is a great way to spend the day. Garelochhead station is a 10 minute drive or 15 minute bus trip (with a 5 minute walk to the station) from here. You can do the full trip to Fort William or Oban and return in a day or break your journey at one of the stations in between. A stop at Rannoch Station Tea Room is well worth doing but you're best to book, it's very popular!

The Hill House

Designed by Charles Rennie MacIntosh for the Glasgow publisher Walter Blackie the house has suffered at the hands of the Scottish West Coast weather due to the materials and techniques used which were at the cutting edge of architectural design in 1900. To start conservation but still allow public access The National Trust for Scotland have built a chainmail "box" round the house which has walkways allowing you to walk around and up to roof level. There's also a great cafe!
