Good question!
If you heard us on BBC Scotland Out of Doors (broadcast Saturday 7th November, and available on iPlayer until early December) you will know that the hostel is now closed and the lease between owners Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) and the Scottish Youth Hostel Association has now come to an end.
You’ll see from our previous post that the hostel’s future was in question and we invited interest from people who would interested in taking on the lease (if that was an option), and there was a very positive response. We were able to tell the owners that there were, (as we suspected) willing folk out there who were keen to take on the lease, run the hostel or at least find out more about it.
We have since been told by SWT, that after much deliberation, they have decided they to sell the hostel in early 2016. This would come with burdens that would take into consideration (and benefit) the hostel’s heritage, and the local community – and there has been some interest in this too.
More recently we understand that has not been finalised so if you are interested in the hostel – either to lease or buy please get in touch and we’ll forward your enquiry on to SWT. Alternatively, you can get in touch directly:
