Rushyglen Cottages
Our Mission
The Rushyglen Cottage is GLM's answer to high-quality comfortable self-catered holiday accommodation for the Scottish leisure and tourism market.
This holiday cottage concept was created by GLM as an answer to the time, cost and quality challenges faced by owners of old and dilapidated rural cottages wanting to meet an increasingly demanding self-catering holiday market. The result is a traditional-style house designed to provide exceptional quality within a traditional limewashed cottage.
Benefitting from the exacting standards of off-site construction, they can be built quickly and with minimal site labour. Yet they are permanent, durable buildings which can be expected to stand the test of time.
The Rushyglen Cottage complies with the Building Regulations, is highly insulated, and has been designed to be as sustainable as possible.
A Rushyglen Cottage can be finished in the vernacular, whether that be a traditional lime harl, stone or timber cladding, slate, corrugated iron or thatched roof, indeed any finish acceptable to the Planners and compliant with Building Regulations.
Designed in accordance with the principles of proportion identified in vernacular architecture by Robert J Naismith in his book “Buildings of the Scottish Countryside”, Rushyglen cottages look right in the landscape. They are pleasing to the eye and, crucially, favoured by the Planners.
