ℹ️ Guests must acknowledge: 📌 Difficult climb down to island and floating footbridge 📌 Detached toilet and shower (see photos) 📌 Limited heating in winter months Recommended in Rough Guide, Observer, and The Times Travel, our Cabin and Barrel are an excellent space for couples to experience our magical little corner of the Scottish Highlands here on our historic family-owned island. Enjoy your holiday in total privacy on the southern half of a historic family-owned island. Unlike traditional campsites in the highlands, this "Captain's Cabin and Barrel" is just for you with detached private shower and toilet facilities, and a kitchen complete with all of the cooking essentials. And extra special is your very own wood-fired hot tub. The barrel is suitable for an adult couples. There is a television and wifi. Unfortunately, the site is inaccessible to those with mobility difficulties, as accessing the island requires a challenging 10-minute walk down the hill from the car park and crossing a slippery floating footbridge. Waterproof, high grip shoes are a must and guests must carry torches after dusk.

This is a wonderful place. Cannot recommend enough for those that really do want to get away from it all and live a rustic wee life for a few days! Quirky and a lot of fun So much to see and do in the area. A highlight was taking Ian’s boat out on his Shellfish safaris! He is a true professional in what he does and even as a Marine Biologist I learnt loads!! The catch was of course delicious. And all sustainably caught too.
we had a great stay at this wonderfully original and cozy place!
Ian was an extremely friendly host and made us feel welcome on the island. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. We would highly reccomend Ian and the Cabin
Had such a lovey weekend in Badachro! The place and history of Dry Island was certainly a highlight, and the captain’s cabin and barrel (and the rest of the island) were such a dreamy place to stay. We’ll certainly be visiting again :)
What a place! We fell in love with Dry Island as soon we arrived. It’s such a magical place, and Ian was such a warm, welcoming host. Thank you so much for the stay - and for also accommodating the boat trip too. That was extra special. We hope to be back for longer next time!

Dry Island sits in the tranquil waters of Gair Loch (literally "short loch") where the Mackenzies have lived, fished and farmed since the 15th Century. Dry Island's current owner, Ian McWhinney is a descendent of the Mackenzies and still fishes for shellfish from the Island. He is very happy to take visitors out to harvest langoustines, crabs and squat lobsters from his creels.
Warm Gulf Stream waters make for a temperate climate which attracts plentiful wildlife, including seabirds, otters and whales which feast on the seasonal bounty of the sea. The loch is circled to the south by the dramatic Torridon Mountains including the 3300ft high Beinn Alligin and Slioch (3215ft), one of Scotland's finest mountains.
Inverness is the nearest city to Dry Island and is approximately 90 minutes drive away. Across the sea is Skye, the Isle of Rona and the Inner Hebrides and boat trips to the islands can be booked during your stay. The village of Badachro on the shores of Gair Loch has a fine pub with a restaurant in which to dine and relax after a day in the hills.
However you want to relax and unwind, Dry Island has so much to offer.
Your own car is essential as public transport is very limited. There are however, great walks in the area
