This lodge is one of the homes of Lisbet Rausing, who is heir to the £6 billion TetraPak empire.
The website www.corrour.co.uk/states:
"In 1942 Corrour Lodge was accidentally burnt down with only its chapel, game larder and schoolhouse remained. In 1959 a temporary wooden bungalow house was built on the same site. The building of a Corrour New Lodge commenced in 1999 and was completed in 2003."

"...[Corrour Lodge] the holiday home of Lisbet Rausing, heir to the £6 billion TetraPak fortune..."
"...dilapidated shooting lodges have been replaced with no expense spared but, given Rausing decided to try to build one of the few examples of world-class modern architecture in Scotland, this property should have been the more impressive.
If you don't already know Corrour, you may remember it as the place Renton and pals stepped from a train in the film Trainspotting. Many miles from any public road, the old lodge went up in flames in 1940.
The new lodge, designed by the architect Moshe Safdie, centres round a great barrelled glass hall and two towers. One tower is rectangular, the other cylindrical, and each is split by glass walls, in one case conical, in the other, pyramidal. I love much of Safdie's work, in particular Jerusalem's holocaust museum (Yad Vashem) so it hurts me to say that Corrour doesn't appear special, but rather as a bad theatrical set. Although it is still unfinished, it already seems a little dated, and unsuited to its surroundings..."
