The Cottage
Tigh Ban Lek is a traditionally built stone and wood cottage and is in an area of dramatic natural scenic beauty. It is situated in the Traighuanie area, pronounced Tri-oo-ni and meaning Green Shore in Gaelic.
​
The detached house enjoys a prominent hillside location from where there are spectacular views south and west to Craobh Haven, Shuna, Luing, Scarba and Jura. On a clear day Islay can also be seen. This is a cottage with a difference, in a peaceful area surrounded by spectacular scenery
The house was built in the late 90's and has been carefully incorporated into the hillside. It is oriented to maximise the spectacular island views and seascapes which extend over 30 miles. It is a light and bright property with many full length windows allowing you to take full advantage of the views from both floors.
