Four wooden walls to make the heart sing

Sometimes the most profound ideas are best embodied
in the smallest of packages. Authenticity is the key, and the lovely Woodman’s
Hut at Nethy Bridge has it in abundance. Every detail of this beautifully
simple building has been created with warm-hearted consideration for the
wellbeing of the people who spend time there, writes Karen Grant.
Occasionally a
building welcomes you with the warmth of the good hearts that built it. This is
true of the Woodman’s Hut, built by David and Valery Dean in three acres of
woodland near their well-loved hostel, The Lazy Duck. The Woodman’s Hut was
built as a retreat for one or two people, just a short walk from their cosy and
characterful eight-bed hostel. The Deans enlisted talented local craftsmen Rob
Clarke and Dave Robson to do the construction, and the finished cabin shows the
care and creativity of all the people involved.
One snowy
afternoon in January, I visited Nethy Bridge to meet David in the hut at the
edge of pine woodland looking directly up to Cairngorm and Bynack More.
