Doune Cottage

Set high on a wooded hillside above the shimmering Gare Loch, Doune Cottage is a beautifully conceived, Scandinavian-inspired longhouse crafted almost entirely from timber. Designed and built by its engineer, this three-bed house combines exposed structure, warm materials and thoughtfully framed views to create a serene retreat with a contemporary alpine sensibility. Larch cladding, a crinkly metal roof and a refined, hand-finished interior lend the building a quiet, natural presence anchored in the mountainous landscape.
