Jimmy Savile’s Glen Coe property damaged by fire

The site’s new owner has been granted planning permission to demolish the existing single-storey house and replace it with a new four-bedroom, one-and-a-half storey house.

The proposed redevelopment includes honouring another of the cottage’s former owners – the celebrated Scottish climber and inventor Dr Hamish MacInnes.

Dr MacInnes, who died in 2020, invented ice axes and also a stretcher that is used by mountain rescue teams all over the world.

The outbuildings where the climber worked on his creations are to be redeveloped as an ancillary dwelling and named Hamish House.

The property has a long history and over the years it served as a house on a croft and as a road workers’ cottage.

It is one of only six houses along a 10-mile stretch of the A82 through Glen Coe.
