Black Rock, Glencoe – 12-14 Feb 2027

Black Rock Cottage is one of the most photographed huts in Scotland. It’s owned by the Ladies’ Scottish Climbing Club and sits on its own at the foot of Meall a’ Bhuiridh, a short, signposted track off the A82, right where Glencoe gives way to the edge of Rannoch Moor. It’s a proper climbers’ hut, so expect bunks, a shared kitchen, and plenty of chat about the day’s hills over tea.

You’re in the heart of Glencoe country, so there’s plenty to go at. Meall a’ Bhuiridh and Creise are practically on the doorstep, and a short drive takes you to Buachaille Etive Mòr, Stob a’ Choire Odhair and Stob Ghabhar, or a lower-level day if the weather turns. Mid-February is full winter, so expect snow and ice on the tops. Bring an ice axe and crampons, and check the SAIS avalanche forecast before choosing a route, and don’t be afraid to switch to a lower-level day if conditions say so.
