Being trying for ages to rent this place.



in the middle of nowhere …,Moidart, included - one bedroom, one wife, one dog, one bottle of Talisker and journey through snowy Gelncoe to get there and no bugger else.

I cancelled an 18 hour flight and a boring Thai 5 star resort in favour of peace and tranquillity.

the trip report starts from Boxing Day …..after I’ve been nice to the relatives on Christmas Day.

Looks beautiful. And peaceful.

Starrs - People have been so badly behaved since Covid , couldn’t cope an 18 hour flight. Need the company of Sea Eagles , Pine Martens and Otters.

Soooo Jealous! Only been out on the tip of Moidart once. Did a walk along the river and to Castle Tioram, then took the Kilchoan to Tobermory ferry

Looks wonderful! Currently on holiday in Scotland, also in the middle of nowhere overlooking a loch and just my husband and a kindle for company.
Couldn’t be happier.

I thought you might know it, the cottage is on the track to the castle just at the point where the Shiel meets the mean high water mark - as a result the wildlife watching is great. We love this area, off the beaten track. We have rented a house in SC with a similar setting - the dolphins and eagles came in every day to feed. I’ve seen wildlife on 5 continents and the Artic circle but nothing beats your own wildlife.

Richard Branson’s sister (Vanessa) owns the island opposite with a few lovely rentals but they are too isolated - access by small boat only!

where are you?

I think we all need a break in the wilds -:it’s been an odd year. Interest rates, fuel costs, haves and have nots, post Covid - it’s is been a socially nasty year generally.

Looks and sounds gorgeous BC, who wants a resort when you could have your own slice of heaven? Will wait for you to tell us all about it…

Looks fantastic! Also looks better than an 18-hour flight anywhere.

The place looks great! It's nice to seek tranquility through nature. I love how green the trees are, hope you enjoy your journey! Would be nice to get away from the city and enjoy the fresh air

OOH -- I found the property on google map (before I realized the web listing included it - duh. Would have save me about 10 mins )

Getting restive/impatient out here . . . more please!!

Just seeing the serenity of the photo brings a sense of peace. Wonderful to have that to look forward to.

Today's Times has a lovely article about a walk past the castle and your cottage

Not sure if this is behind a pay wall but if not: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/w...oram-cx5wrrmqs
