Badan Mhugaidh - Self-catering cottages in Highland
Balgy, Shieldaig, IV54 8XP, Highland
Scotland,
Regno Unito
It’s a remote and remarkable spot in spectacular scenery. Off-grid living but with luxury seamlessly woven in: heating and hot water from solar power, a wood-burner fuelled by the estate and filtrated spring water from a private bore. Take one cottage or two – they’re identical, cleverly separated by a spacious boot room with drying and laundry facilities and each with its own terrace.
Nature lovers, dreamers and adventure-seekers will love it here. Head out to comb the beaches on the loch shore, bag a Munro or two, try ice climbing in winter, or mountain biking and kayaking on warmer days. Sit back with a book or spot sea eagles, otters - and sometimes deer in the garden.
There's a well-equipped kitchen and a double-height, open-plan living space with one bedroom up and one down. Raise your glasses to sunsets – the finest you’ve ever seen, with front-row views from the terrace.

- Shieldaig Outdoor Adventures provide a wide variety of sea and land activities - sea kayaking, mountain guide, archery. climbing. Launch your trailer-sailer from a nearby slipway and enjoy an unforgettable sailing area as if it were your very own.
- Some of the most exciting driving on the planet! Mostly single track roads, and two challenging mountain passes that really need to be tried. The Bealach na Bá (Pass of the Cattle) to Applecross and the Bealach na Gaoithe (Pass of the Winds) to Diabaig.
- Take a trip to Applecross for lunch. Reached either by the coast road or the uniquely stunning Bealach na Bá – one of Britain’s highest road passes. National Geographic magazine listed this circular route as one of the top ten scenic drives in the world.
- You're spoilt for choice with a plethora of award-winning eateries around Torridon and the Applecross peninsula. Eat wonderful local sea-food whilst gazing at the ever-changing mountain landscape, or out to sea across the Minch to Skye and the Hebrides.
