Stay With Us
Turadh is a Scottish Gaelic word meaning "a break in the clouds". Our mission is to provide opportunities for rest and relief amid rainstorms of challenge. And create a sense of wonder and a feeling of hope even when dark clouds are hovering nearby.
Our homes are available to those supporting people and places across Scotland. And to guests from across the UK who want to support our mission. We receive no public funding and operate a mutual aid model. Those who can contribute more are asked to do so in order that those with lower income can also enjoy the same hospitality. You can read more about our financial model here.
Our three beautiful West Highland homes have all been designed with rest and renewal in mind. They are situated in some of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes and offer ideal bases for outdoor adventure. They are also warm, safe spaces where guests experience deep connection to the wild even if they are unable to get out into the elements.
Each home has its own unique character. You can click on the images below to find out more. Or scroll down to discover some of the different Ways To Stay with us.

"Having two weeks together, away from the constant demands of our day jobs, let us think bigger and deeper than we'd dared to before. We arrived with a project idea; we left with a movement plan."
