Corrour Lodge, Country house and wilderness hut in Highland, Scotland.
Description
Corrour Lodge is a modernist residence of granite and glass at the eastern end of Loch Ossian, surrounded by a large Highland estate. The building features two cylindrical towers joined to a rectangular great hall with extensive glass walls.
History
The original 1896 building was destroyed in 1942, leading to reconstruction of the current structure designed by architect Moshe Safdie in 2004. This rebuilding represented a shift from the earlier traditional architecture to modernist design on the same site.
Culture
The estate offers visitors traditional Scottish outdoor pursuits such as deer stalking, fishing, and walking across its grounds. These field activities continue to define how people engage with the land today.
Practical
The lodge can only be reached by a long private track or train to the nearby station, requiring careful planning for arrival. Visitors should expect isolation and lack of nearby shops or services.
Did you know?
Architect Moshe Safdie chose Portuguese granite for the outer walls, giving the building a warm reddish tone. This material choice was uncommon for a Scottish Highland structure and gives it a distinctly southern European feel.
