📍The wee White House
It began life as a crofting home in the highlands of Scotland. People shared farming among a small community, where land was shared to grow vegetables and raise animals. Any produce and profits earned from the farming would then be distributed among the community.
Since 1946, the hut has been maintained by the Scottish Mountaineering Club and owned by the National Trust of Scotland.
Today, it is rented out to travellers to stay in throughout the year. Inside, the hut remains largely traditional and even has the local Ballachulish slate roofing. The walls are thick and built with stone to withstand the strong winds in the area.
It's easy to find too!
Being the only building in the vicinity amongst such a rugged and expansive landscape is part of its breathtaking appeal. Even though the hut looks as if it's standing in the middle of nowhere, in fact, it's right beside the main road, the A82, that passes right through Glencoe.
