context_page_description: Corrour Lodge is situated at the eastern end of Loch Ossian on the Corrour Estate on Rannoch Moor, Scotland. It is a large modernist residence which opened in 2004 in place of Old Corrour Lodge, which had been destroyed by fire in 1942. The previous lodge had been built in 1896 for John Stirling-Maxwell when he purchased the estate. Earlier still a building now referred to as Corrour Old Lodge had been the estate house and was some three miles to the south. The location is very remote – the entrance drive from the nearest public road is eleven miles long. However Corrour railway station is only about four miles away.
context_section_description: Corrour Lodge (56°47′31″N 4°36′03″W) was rebuilt during 1999 to 2003 on the same site as the previous lodge.
  The entrance drive, which leaves the A86 near the (south western) foot of Loch Laggan, is 11 miles (18 km) long. The lodge has been designed in a modernist style by Moshe Safdie and has been built of Portuguese granite, steel and glass at a reported cost of £20 million. The Great Hall is set between a cylindrical and a rectangular tower. To one side on the new building the old lodge's wings house the estate office (once the school house) and two cottages and on the other side is a detached cottage in what used to be the chapel. There is a detached timber sauna, turf-roofed and prefabricated in Norway.
  The gardens have mostly been unaltered since they were laid out a century earlier, but since 2003 they have been listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.  They are of 25 hectares (62 acres), including the alpine garden of one hectare (2.5 acres), and the rhodedendron garden, to the south of Loch Ossian, is 25 hectares (62 acres).
  When not being used by the owners and their guests, the lodge is let as serviced holiday accommodation. There is further holiday accommodation in cottages around the estate as well as adjacent to the main lodge. In addition to being a retreat, the estate advertises itself as being available for activities such as deer stalking, fishing, walking, pony trekking and clay pigeon shooting.
  There have been allegations that helicopters and motor vehicles have been used unlawfully to drive deer towards people hunting. However, the estate management denies this has been done and says helicopters are only used to carry people to distant parts of the estate and to retrieve deer carcasses.
