Log Cabin

Five weekend courses in Log-Building have resulted in the amazing Log Cabin, located at Long Beach Campsite. Intended as a shelter for campers and other users of the beach area, result exceeded all expectations for swiss-chalet prettiness!

The project was largely funded by BBC Breathing Spaces as part of the KF Ranger Service's Long Beach Phase Two project, and was sub-contracted to KFT. The Trust were able to run four courses in log-building, with a final weekend attended by volunteers who had previously helped on the project.

It's dry, potentially warm, and an ideal place for campers to dry off their clothes, or take shelter from those sheets of rain that (occasionally) make their way up the loch.

See above for pictures of the project; some of the finished building will be posted very soon.
