News from Scotland

SYHA Hostelling Scotland was open Corrour Station House Restaurant & Rooms, opening up the Highlands to a wider market of walkers, nature lovers and education groups.

The development extends the charity’s accommodation provision on Rannoch Moor, home to the much loved Loch Ossian Hostel, with four well equipped rooms.

In particular, schools, youth and education groups can now be catered for at the location, which offers incredible wildlife watching, walking, outdoor activities and an invaluable field trip experience for youngsters.

Corrour Station House Restaurant & Rooms will also offer an a la carte menu  offering traditional Scottish hot meals, as well as packed lunches, at affordable prices.  The restaurant which is open to the public from Wednesdays to Sundays, will cater for up to 25 diners.
The licensed facility is expected to prove a hit with walkers returning from a day on the moor, hungry for hot food.

Situated on Rannoch Moor and part of Corrour Estate, the iconic Corrour station provides a ‘gateway to the Highlands’, its remote atmosphere highlighted by a famous scene in the classic film Trainspotting.

SYHA Hostelling Scotland has taken on the lease of the station house, which has benefited from partial refurbishment and redecoration to provide a bright, fresh and pleasant restaurant and rooms.

The catering facilities will make the destination a viable option for groups, and an attractive one for travellers arriving by train from as far away as London.

Martin Stewart, Head of Operations at SYHA Hostelling Scotland, said: “Loch Ossian has long been one of our best loved gems among guests, with visitors returning time and again for that rare experience of unspoilt nature.

“We are thrilled to have taken on the iconic station house with the blessing of Corrour Estate, to provide extended quality accommodation and catering, making the destination ideal for more groups and travellers.

“For youngsters in particular, the educational benefits and special memories that come from group trips to unspoilt natural locations are invaluable, so we’re delighted we can now cater for schools and youth groups at Loch Ossian and Corrour Station House, with enough accommodation for children and their teachers or leaders.
