Guest Activities

You are very welcome to stay at Escape Lodge and plan your own holiday.  Indeed we encourage you to feel free to do very little at all!

An assortment of indoor and outdoor activities will be available.  These will be low-environmental impact, generally nature-related and often environment enhancing.  
   



Newtonmore Highland Folk Museum shows buildings similar to those we plan to recreate.

Birdwatching, guided walks, climbing, boat trips...

Many types of outdoor activities are available in the area around Escape Lodge.

The main activities to be provided by Escape Lodge itself are in The Highland Township Project.

Help to build a thatched house
If our planning permission is successful we invite you to join us in building 8 traditional thatched Scottish stone houses.

Belong.

We aim to create an environmentally-friendly holiday community where the members help to care for the buildings and land.  

Members will `time-share' the buildings. In other words you help create it, buy your share, then come back for holidays.  Our `alternative' time-share plan is inexpensive and very flexible.


Wildlife
If you are travelling anywhere around Dundonnell at dusk you are likely to see the beautiful herds of red deer  (right) which populate our hills.  Visit in winter and you can pretty much guarantee regular deer sightings like those opposite.

Little Loch Broom also has regular sightings of otters.

   

Gorse and Sphagnum Moss








Dundonnell is home to a herd of wild goats who often graze by the side of the road.  Winter is the best time to see them and if you visit in February you will see plenty of kids!
