Scotland's most remote hostel gets a revamp
http://news.stv.tv/scotland/87523-scotlands-most-remote-hostel-gets-a-revamp/
The Scottish Youth Hostels Association has been working to upgrade the hostel in Glen Affric.
...The youth hostel in Glen Affric provides a bed for over 2,500 visitors a year, all of whom have to walk more than eight miles to reach it.
The remote hostel is surrounded only by wildlife and the nearest shop is 21 miles away.
Mr Bolton added: "The hostel is miles from the electricity grid, but we still need to provide amenities and power. Upgrading our renewable energy system was essential if we were to continue to provide a hostel in the glen."
Has anyone here been to the hostel?
