Big Shed

The Big Shed at Tombreck,  on the slopes of Ben Lawers on the north shore of Loch Tay, is an award-winning multi-use eco-building with outstanding facilities, in an inspiring setting overlooking Loch Tay. On our doorstep, you’ll find the lochside, woodlands and mountain paths to Ben Lawers, a National Nature Reserve.  Tombreck Farm itself has recently been designated a Permaculture ScotLAND centre and we hope to have permaculture courses over the summer.

The setting is truly inspirational, with a sandy lochside beach, natural woodlands, waterfalls, large open spaces and mountains, all rich in flora, fauna & archaeological heritage.  In summer  regular buses stop just at the end of the driveway.

Yoga workshops  at the Big Shed include a home-made lunch. Most workshops cost £45. For 2017 the dates are  :
