Meet the Scottish Hostels team

Board of Directors

As always, the Directors are all hostel owners and understand both the challenges and the benefits of running a hostel. We are there to work for you. Scottish Hostels is unique amongst hostelling organisations as it is owned and run by its members. It is the only one of its kind in the UK, and possibly in the world.

Your new Directors, in alphabetical order, are:

  • Rebecca Field, Fraoch Lodge, Boat of Garten

  • Marie Gunnis, Helmsdale Lodge Hostel, Helmsdale

  • Jo Waddell, The Dolphin Inn, Dunbar

About the directors

Rebecca Field: owner of Fraoch Lodge
I moved to the Highlands at the end of 1998 to open and run Fraoch Lodge as a hostel. The building already had a history of accommodating guests for a residential birdwatching company so little renovation was needed and we opened our doors within a week of moving up. 

27 years later we are still running the hostel which has evolved over time but it still astounds our new guests that we are still here and still enjoying what we do.
