The former Highlands house of horror of disgraced presenter Jimmy Savile was engulfed in flames last night. Emergency services responded to reports of the blaze at Allt-na-Reigh cottage in Glencoe, Scotland. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but thankfully there were no reported injuries. The A82 road was temporarily closed but has since reopened. Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are currently investigating the incident.
An update has been issued following a fire that engulfed Jimmy Savile's former Highlands house of horror last night. Emergency services rushed to Allt-na-Reigh cottage, in Glencoe , after reports of a fire at just after 5.30pm yesterday. It is understood that the outbuildings next to the cottage were also on fire. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, but there were not believed to be any injuries. The A82 was closed in both directions as emergency services tackled the blaze.
However, Police Scotland confirmed this morning that the road between Tyndrum and Ballachulish Bridge has reopened. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances. A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: 'We were called at 17:36 and have three pumps in attendance.' A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'The A82 between Tyndrum and Ballachulish Bridge has reopened following a report of a fire at a property around 5.40pm on Saturday, 8 February, 2025. Emergency services attended and the fire was extinguished by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.' After his death in 2011, Jim’ll Fix It presenter Savile was exposed as one of Britain’s most prolific and high-profile sex offenders. From 1998 until the day he died, he lived in the bungalow which was built at a beauty spot opposite the Three Sisters of Glencoe. The building fell into a state of decay following the paedophile's 2011 death. Images from inside the lair, where Savile is believed to have abused 20 victims, show collapsed ceilings, smashed walls and piles of debris. At one point, the property was whitewashed in a bid to deter vandals, however, words such as 'beast' and 'paedo' remain scrawled onto the exterior walls. Following Savile's death, the two-bed bungalow was put up for auction and was purchased for £212,000, with the buyer intending to live there. However, it was bought over for a reported £335,000 by the family of Harris Aslam, boss of Kirkcaldy-based convenience stores business Eros Retail. His plans were initially hit with a flood of objections, including from Heritage Scotland, who said they did not fit the scenic landscape. The property was then given the green light to be bulldozed last year, to make way for a four-bed home. Architects said Allt-na-Reigh’s redevelopment will be in honour of another former owner of the cottage – Dr Hamish MacInnes, who died in 2020. Dr MacInnes was a Scottish mountaineer, explorer, mountain search and rescuer described as the “father of modern mountain rescue in Scotland”
