Highland Shepherds Huts

Inverness-shire

Zoe Hall has strong background and experience in her family’s long standing self-catering business in the Highlands. Her parents always had great ideas of having Shepherds huts or cabins on their land to let out. She thought it would be nice to follow in their footsteps and try herself to get planning for three Shepherds huts.  Zoe managed to get approval for the planning, which proved complex as they neighbour an RSPB Nature Reserve, their site sits within an ancient woodland, and they are set in the Cairngorms National Park.
