Real Stag Party! Deer Joins Party in Youth Hostel
Hostelling Scotland is collecting guest memories and images of the hostel’s famous stags as it also marks 10 years of hot showers.
- Loch Ossian Youth Hostel is celebrating its 95th anniversary, with guests sharing memories of wild stags that once frequented the common room on the Corrour Estate in the Scottish Highlands.
- The hostel, one of 28 managed by Hostelling Scotland, first opened on May 24, 1931, becoming famous for stags that learned to tilt their heads to enter the building.
- Former warden Tom Rigg formed an "extraordinary" bond with iconic stags like Windswept, The Chief, and Old Fettercairn, according to manager Jan Robinson, who has worked at Loch Ossian for more than a decade.
- Alongside the 95th anniversary, the hostel marks ten years since electricity upgrades provided hot showers, while Robinson noted guests still feel "very connected to nature" today.
- Situated around 20 minutes from Corrour Station, the off-the-grid location remains accessible only by train, bike, or foot, continuing to offer tranquil escape from modern life.
