Detatched Cottage in Struy

About Brian and Les Newbury

Hi, I'm Lesley. I live next door with my husband Brian, we both work part time. We moved to the Highlands in 2001. Never looked back and we feel very privileged to live in this beautiful glen. Our holiday cottage is next door and has just been completed. We have beautiful views across the glen and a forest at the back. A Badger often visits us at night and eats anything our chickens and ducks leave behind.

Brian and Les Newbury purchased this Cottage in 2001

Why Brian and Les Newbury chose Struy

We decided that instead of visiting the countryside we wanted to be part of it so we bought a plot of land and built our own house.

What makes this Cottage unique

A few minutes walk across the Glen is the river Glass with Wild Atlantic Salmon and Brown Trout. Fishing permits are available locally. Behind us is Glen Strathfarrar. It is a lovely drive, walk or cycle ride. It is an ideal location for hill walkers with several munro's. The river Glass is ideal for canoeing. 15 minutes further up the Glen is Glen Cannich and Glen Affric (Often described as the most scenic Glen in Scotland). A 30 minute drive will take you to Inverness or Loch Ness or the Black Isle. At Rosemarchie Dolphins are often seen following boats up the Moray Firth toward Inverness. Also on the Black Isle toward Allness can be seen the local seals. The isle of Skye, Fort William and Ullapool on the west coast are all day trips.
