Highland councillors asked to approve Savile cottage demolition

Savile owned the cottage for about 13 years, but some have expressed disappointment that his relatively short association with the property has overshadowed its longer history.

The little house is dwarfed by the spectacular scenery including the nearby Three Sisters ridges of the 1,150m (3,773ft) mountain Biden nam Bian.

Its name, Allt-na-Reigh, roughly translates from its mangled Gaelic as “burn of the slope”, a reference to the stream that rushes close by and down under a bridge on the A82.

But Allt-na-Reigh is in a sorry state. Graffiti covers the walls, the windows are smashed and a bicycle wheel has been thrown on to the roof.

The roof itself is damaged with tiles having been deliberately ripped off it.

Highland Council’s south planning applications committee will consider the proposed redevelopment on Tuesday 18 June.
