Meet the Author: The Highland Hutter, Peter McQueen

Also known as the ‘Highland Hutter’, join Peter MacQueen as he enlightens us on all things hutting. From foraging, fire making and solar panels, to building a cabin, slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. Born and raised in Oban, Peter MacQueen has always had a passion for living off-grid, resulting in presenting his BBC Alba TV show, Bothag Phàdruig, from his own hut on the beautiful Argyllshire coast.

Peter MacQueen, a proud West Coast Scot and fluent Gaelic speaker, is passionate about Scotland's rich culture. As an author and presenter on BBC Alba, he’s explored everything from gardening to cabin culture, captivating audiences with his love for the land. Living on a croft in Oban with his partner, Coinneach MacLeod, Peter shares his life with a variety of animals and native Scottish dog breeds. His authentic approach to showcasing the beauty of Scotland makes him a true ambassador for the country and its traditions.
