11 of the best log cabins in Scotland

There’s something wonderfully wholesome about a traditional log cabin. They hark back to simpler times when screens didn’t dominate, beds were covered in patchwork quilts and children played outdoors until the dinner bell was rung. For those wanting the Little House on the Prairie experience for a weekend, Scotland is home to a plethora of cosy cabins.

A dizzyingly remote off-grid cabin on an 84-acre smallholding above the Lake of Menteith. Clad in larch, the bothy is all cowhide rugs, antler-framed mirrors and sheepskins; a wood-burner and cute mezzanine bedroom keep things cosy. On the porch, a wood-fired tub has mighty views towards the Fintry hills. Farm tours, home-cooked meals for sale, Trossachs walks galore — a real find.
