Corrour
Why we can’t wait to visit again: We wouldn’t
mind getting as far away from our current abode as is humanly
possible. Unless you fancy a 15-mile hike through spiky, unyielding
bracken, the only way of reaching this beautifully desolate country
estate is by train. We’re packing a stash of books, hiking boots,
binoculars and not a lot else.
Where we’re staying: At one of the cottages on the estate or the
architecturally magnificent Corrour Lodge if we save enough
in our quarantine kitty.
Before you go: Watch Trainspotting – the
original and the sequel. Not only is Corrour railway station the
highest of its kind in the UK at 408m above sea level, it’s also
where Ewan McGregor and pals filmed that iconic scene.
