Lagangarbh Cottage, often called the “Wee White House,” sits alone beneath the towering bulk of Buachaille Etive Mòr in Glencoe, its whitewashed walls a stark contrast against the dark, rugged slopes of the Highlands. Once a simple crofter’s home, it is now a mountain hut owned by the National Trust for Scotland and maintained by the Scottish Mountaineering Club, offering basic but welcoming shelter to walkers and climbers amid some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery. Perched near the River Coupall and a short distance from the A82, the cottage seems to guard the edge of Rannoch Moor, enduring wild weather with its thick stone walls and slate roof while remaining a peaceful, almost timeless focal point in countless photographs of the glen.
