Glenfinnan eco-bothy business on the market

Back Track Bothies owners Mark and Ally Entwistle said: “Creating these eco-cabins was a labour of love for us.

"We had a dream of how they would look and feel and we worked closely with our carpenter and builder to ensure single detail was just right.

“We only opened just over two years ago and have been blown away by how popular the bothies have proved to be and how successful a business model they are.”

They added: “We have some other dreams we still wish to purse and, while putting Back Track Bothies up for sale much earlier than we originally envisaged, it feels the right time and allows a new owner to develop and grow the business as they would want." 

Peter Seymour, a director with Graham + Sibbald, which is marketing the business for sale, said: “We are delighted to bring to the market Back Track Bothies. We have seen a steady shift towards Green tourism and expect this market to continue to grow in popularity as people become more aware of their carbon footprints.

"Glenfinnan is a highly popular tourist destination because of its outstanding landscape, its history and, of course, the famous Viaduct which features in all of the Harry Potter films. The sellers have decided that now is the time to move onto other projects, leaving behind a well-presented and highly-profitable business for the next owner to enjoy.”
