Happy Monday everyone!

Did we mention how much there is to explore at our shepherd's hut? Bruadar is located on a hillside in Glenisla, the most westerly of the Angus glens, and just north of the 500-million-year-old Highland Boundary Fault – the great geological feature that divides the Scottish Highlands from the Lowlands.

The Cateran Trail, one of Scotland’s long-distance walks, passes through Glenisla, and the area also features heavily in the innovative The Cateran Ecomuseum, a museum without walls which aims to showcase everything that the area has to offer in an environmentally responsible way.

Here's a pretty awesome shot 📷 of the view from the hut looking west as the sun was setting, we honestly can't get enough of these views, hope you like them too! 🌅💚💚🌅

It's pretty chilly here at the moment, but although the weather conditions on a hillside in Scotland can sometimes be challenging, by combining traditional and modern techniques and materials, our guests can stay cosy and warm!

From the outset we wanted to combine environmentally friendly principles with comfort and style, all the while acknowledging the history and heritage of the land where our hut is based.

Traditionally, huts were used by shepherds during lambing time as a shelter from elements, allowing them to watch their flock day and night while at the same time providing them with somewhere warm to eat and sleep.

To give you a wee bit of an idea of what we mean, here are some pics of the insulation going in when we were fitting the hut out a few years ago, and of the wood-burning stove which keeps everything toastie🔥🔥

Check out some of the reviews our lovely guests have left for us over on our Canopy and Stars listing recently!

Here are some of our favourites:

"A truly perfect off-grid experience and the epitome of indoor outdoor living."

“We have stayed in a few shepherd's huts and this one is by far the best. Clare and Alex have thought of everything and you can see the love that they put into it. Location is spectacular, so beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be back.”

“Wonderful location and the accommodation itself was brilliantly appointed with everything you could possibly need.”

“My partner and I had the most magical stay at Bruadar, Alec and Clare went above and beyond to make our trip accessible, information, and everything we dreamed, hoped and wanted for a celebratory weekend away in the beautiful remote countryside. Their hosting is second to none, as is the impeccable craftmanship of the shepherd's hut and the location within it is set. It is one of the best glamping experiences I've had - adding comfort to an off-grid experience.”

Thank you 🙌🙌🙌 to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review, whether on this page or Google or through Canopy and Stars – it means a lot to us and helps us ensure that our guests enjoy a truly memorable stay in a very special place 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
