Buteo

Buteo is one of Eagle Brae’s large log cabins Scotland, set on level ground with open views and easy access. It sleeps four to six guests and is ideal for families, older visitors, and anyone who prefers a gentle approach rather than steep slopes. As one of our spacious group log cabins, Buteo gives you room to relax in the Scottish Highlands.

This large log cabin also sits close to the Hebridean four-horn sheep paddock, where Jo, Truttus, and Jupiter graze. Children love visiting the sheep, and adults enjoy the character they bring to the landscape. Buteo is also the nearest cabin to reception, making it easy to stop by for local tips or a complimentary hot chocolate before you head out. However, the cabin faces away from the rest of Eagle Brae, so when you are on the deck, you still feel as though you are in your own private corner of Strathglass. This positions you to enjoy one of the most peaceful large log cabins to rent Scotland.

The name Buteo comes from the Latin for buzzard. These impressive birds are regular visitors, gliding above the glen and circling the ridges. Guests often watch them from the deck, and if you are new to birdwatching, you can read our guide to birdwatching in the Scottish Highlands before you arrive at Eagle Brae.

Outside, Buteo has a generous deck with seating. Because the cabin faces away from the rest of the resort, the deck is private and peaceful.

Hand-crafted Highland comfort
