‘It’s regenerative tourism’: a cabin stay that helps rewild Scotland’s Highlands

These forest huts near Ullapool are set in a stunning landscape, close to wildlife and give something back to the surroundings and community

From the terrace of my cabin I can see through the trees to Loch Broom below. All is quiet, bar the faint sound of the breeze teasing branches in the forest. I close my eyes and listen to the silence, breathing in the coolness of the early evening.

A cabin in the woods is the ultimate escape – and mine, Pine Marten, one of two recently opened in Leckmelm Wood, near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, scores top marks for its setting. Even better, a stay here contributes to the site’s nature restoration projects, so you can kick back and enjoy its simple comforts, knowing your stay is doing good too.
