Our family and friends at the Glencoe Lochan
The story of Alltshellach Cottages begins in the mid to late 19th century, when they housed the groomsman and servants for the Bishop of Argyll, whose residence was Alltshellach Country House opposite. The Old Coach House is part of a trio of courtyard cottages that formerly housed the groomsman, horses and coaches. The cottages are built from Kentallen granite under Ballachulish slate roofs. Slate quarrying was a way of life in Ballachulish for over 300 years from the late 17th Century to its heyday during the 1800s through to the final closure in 1955. Slate from the East Laroch quarries, established just two years after the infamous Glencoe Massacre of 1692, was used to provide the roofing slate for much of Edinburgh and Glasgow's skyline in the succeeding centuries. The cottages fell into disrepair during the second half of the 20th century, and by 2006 had been earmarked for demolition to make way for modern housing. However, a local resident purchased the three plots and spent four years painstakingly renovating each.
We are a family who love the Highlands and we want as many people as possible to experience how we feel when we spend time at Alltshellach.
Fresh air, the walk along the Loch to the Old Ferry Bar for a pint of Leven Ale, the world class hiking in Glencoe, Glen Nevis and the Mamores, the Loch Leven Seafood Cafe, the cycle ride around Loch Leven or down the loch side cycle path to Kentallen, the walk around the Glencoe Lochan on a crisp winter's day, the drive from the airport across Rannoch Moor, past the imposing Buchaille Etive Mor and through the beautiful Glencoe valley and the Three Sisters of Glencoe, the Harry Potter train to Mallaig, the list goes on and on. In our view this is a truly special part of the world.
