East Cottage on Glencarron - Spacious, restored and modernised, period cottage
Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, Garden
A traditional Victorian Highland estate cottage, which accommodates up to 5/6 people.

East Cottage: Formerly home for the Estate “ghillie”, the cottage has recently been modernised and comprises two large bedrooms (double and single bed in one bedroom and two/three singles in the other), bathroom, sitting room with open fire and free-to-air TV/video plus music centre and a large, modern, well equipped kitchen with dining table, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, dryer and drying room. The cottage, set above the road, has oil-fired central heating and is attached to the cottage of the Estate’s stalker and his wife.
Stalking: The Estate is home to around 500 hinds with a number of stags also in permanent residence and many more attracted in the rutting season. This lasts roughly from mid-September to mid-October and a few stags are available to be taken in July and August. Hind stalking is available from the end of October through to the end of January and may be taken on a daily basis.
For anglers, there are brown trout and sea trout and the chance of a salmon on 3km of the River Carron and Loch Sgamhain and trout in a further hill loch on the Estate. A boat is available on Loch Sgamhain.
For lovers of wildlife, there are resident eagles, red grouse, ptarmigan, snipe, woodcock, mountain hare, pine martens, otters, badgers, foxes, red and roe deer and moles.
Travel: Between Easyjet and BA there are four or more flights a day to Inverness from Luton and Gatwick, respectively. The flight time is 1 hour and 10 minutes. Trains go to Inverness where a connection can be made to Achnasheen Station which is about 5 miles from the Estate. Car hire is available at Inverness.
