Birkelunn is an authentic Norwegian hutte which was constructed in Norway, shipped to Scotland and built in 1938 for Lady Glen Tanar. With a grass roof and set in a quiet birch wood with beautiful views of heather clad hills and down the Dee valley, this is somewhere where you feel truly “away from it all”. Built totally of wood and furnished with a mix of antique Norwegian pieces and comfortable modern furniture it has a very special atmosphere and is a charming base for a family holiday or get together with friends.
