Map, location of Glencoe

With wonderful mountain views and tucked in amongst ancient trees in this secluded part of the most famous of the Scottish Glens, Signal Rock Cottage was built to the very highest Green standards and finished in January 2008.

The cottage is surrounded by 50 acres of mixed woodlands on the banks of the River Coe abundant with birds, butterflies, and deer. You can wander through the woods to the iconic Signal Rock from which the Macdonald Clan warned the inhabitants of the Glen of danger. Legend also has it that the Rock was used by the Druids for worship hence its Gaelic name Rock of the Sun.

Glencoe is one of the most inspiring landscapes in Scotland, offering all kinds of outdoor activities from professional rock and ice-climbing to gentler family walks, from fishing in loch and river, to exploring wild life and geology, all of which are within walking distance.

Available for bed and breakfast or self-catering rental Signal Rock Cottage has 2 double bedrooms, each with their own shower-rooms en-suite. There is a sitting/dining area especially for guests with patio doors leading out to a small paved area, and a kitchen with all facilities.

Owner Viki Sutherland put in under floor heating fired by an eco-friendly woodchip boiler and installed en-suite wet-room showers. Well-being of guests was top of the list when designing the house!

Goose-down pillows and duvets and 100% cotton sheets on all beds as well as large fluffy bath towels add to your comfort.

Trout fishing on the Sutherland's own loch is just 2 minutes walk from the Cottage.The cottage is a 15 minute walk to the Clachaig Inn which serves a large selection of real ale, good food and live music at week-ends - a well-known pub for walkers and climbers.
