The Fuselage

Sleeps x4 (one double bed and two single bunk beds)
stay in the fuselage

The fuselage is inspired by the principles of modern aerospace design with unparalleled attention to detail.

It has great eco-cred using sustainably sourced wood and recycled aluminium to achieve an eco-friendly and robust structure.

A triple-layered insulated skin system will keep the elements out along with a wood-burning stove to ensure you stay warm and cosy – or cool and dry – whatever the weather! The Fuselage is your private spot to commune with nature without any neighbours save the occasional deer.

Birds are in abundance here and depending on the season you can expect to see/hear Owls, Woodpeckers, Finches and Tits, Wood pigeons and various raptors.

Cuil na Sith (pronounced – cool na shee)

The peaceful spot

This tranquil decagon is in a fabulous double-glazed spot with wonderful uninterrupted views over the west coast of Scotland from the Cuillin range on Skye, over Raasay and Applecross to the Torridon Alps in the distance. A comfortable space with basic crockery and cutlery so that guests can have a refreshing drink and simple eats if they so choose. It is uniquely for the benefit of Fuselage guests who will find a small Fridge and Microwave for their use. It is close to but separate from the Fuselage itself.
