Wildlife

Wildlife is an extremely significant part of Loch Ossian. There were 103 species of birds counted here last year including the golden eagle, peregrine falcon, short eared owl, corncrake, crested tit, cross bill and many more. Mammals living in the area include red deer, roe deer, otter, pine marten, wild cat, red squirrell, fox, badger, water voles, short tailed voles, pygmy shrew, pippestrellebats, daubenton’s bats, mountain hare and weasel. There are also lizards, slow worms and adders, frogs, newts and toads. Trout and pike are plentiful in the rivers and lochs for fishing


Fishing
Available on all the lochs and rivers for a permit charge of £5.00 for 34 hours, ask at the hostel for more information.

Groups

Corrour Station House, together with Our traditionally-styled Eco-Hostel Loch Ossian are perfectly located to explore this remote wilderness of the Scottish Highlands. Situated just one mile apart our two hostels can easily accommodate school, walking or youth groups who wish to enjoy the stunning scenery and abundance of wildlife right outside the hostel doors.  Corrour Station House will provide full dining services alongside Loch Ossian’s traditional style of self-catering accommodation – giving groups flexibility across two fantastic hostels.
