About the host

Hosted by Gillie Elliot

Host profile image
My husband's family has farmed sheep up in Durness since 1908.

In 2012 the farm was split with his cousin and my Husband now runs the farm down at Rhigolter.
As a family we have been coming up to Durness since the early 70's and have enjoyed wonderful holiday up here. Our children and grandchildren come regularly too.

Why they chose this property

This was a shepherd's house ,but has lain derelict for years. We have recently extended and modernised it.

What makes this property unique

The glorious view out of the back of the house never ceases to provide magnificent views of the ever changing tides and the sand patterns.
