Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

Our Huts are located within the Moss Wood area of Bute Forest - a mixed birch and alder wood that extends up the hillside to the west of the A886 that connects the Rhubodach Ferry to Port Bannatyne and Rothesay. Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest. From the viewing point, you can also explore interesting heritage features such as the old WW2 bunker, kayak shelter, Balnakailly settlement, and the SSSI oak woodland.

Dog-friendly cabins in Glencoe National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

The deep valley of Glen Coe is one of the most dramatically beautiful places in Scotland. It’s an ancient Highland landscape stepped in history, myth and adventure. With eight Munros (mountains over 3,000 feet (914 meters), mountain climbers will find plenty of challenges, while hillwalkers can enjoy easier rambles. Winter sports enthusiasts can also find plenty of thrills at the Glencoe Mountain Resort. There are just a handful of formal campsites, including Red Squirrel Camping, which offers basic pitches next to the River Coe, and Glencoe Camping and Caravanning Club Site, which is close to the visitor center. As always, wild camping is possible, as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

When to go

While May to August offers long daylight hours and the best chance of sunshine, this is also peak season, especially July and August when school children are on holiday. September is a great alternative as the biggest crowds have gone and the valley gallows with rich autumnal colors. Wildlife, such as deer, pine-marten, golden eagles, otters and wildcats, can be spotted year-round.

Know before you go

The reserve’s visitor center is a good first stop to pick up information. There’s also a café and shop inside.
In the summer months, biting midges are a nuisance throughout the Highlands. Don’t forget to pack long sleeves and repellent.
There is a bus service that connects Glencoe with Fort William, Glasgow and beyond. In summer it’s advisable to book your tickets in advance.
