Coorie in as Airbnb reveals Scotland's most wish-listed cabins

2019 has been dubbed the year of ‘coorie’ – that delightful Scottish word that evokes snuggling beside a warm fire inside a cosy home with loved ones.

And what fits this Scottish term better than coorie-ing down in one of Scotland’s enchanting cabins, peppered across the country in some of the world’s most idyllic and spectacular spots?

Well, you’re in luck, as global hosting site Airbnb has just revealed its top ten wish-listed cabins in Scotland as requested by users – the perfect excuse to get your coorie on and enjoy a relaxing break in the most desired cosy locations across the country.

Reflecting on Scotland’s most wish-listed cabins, Hadi Moussa, General Manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb said: “Airbnb has a unique ability to help travellers discover untouched pockets of Scotland, and learn about these places through the eyes of locals; whether that’s through staying in a cabin on the banks of Loch Linnhe, or a chalet in Maryburgh.”

And from tranquil loch-side wooden chalets to beautifully decorated, quirky wooden abodes, it’s no surprise these spots have been chosen as Scotland’s most sought after Airbnb cabins.
