WWII Scottish Spy Lodge Up for Sale Over £1.35 Million

Inverlair Lodge, a historic six-bedroom property in the Scottish Highlands, once served as a secret base for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II and is now for sale for over £1.35 million. The SOE used the lodge, known as No. 6 Special Workshop School, to house foreign secret agents who could not be deployed but possessed sensitive information, keeping them under surveillance rather than armed guard. Commanded by Alfred Fyffe for 30 months, the agents were assigned tasks such as mending boots and salvaging scrap metal to keep them occupied and prevent leakage of critical secrets. Located about 20 miles from Fort William and set on 30 acres, the remote lodge provided a secure environment away from the public eye, allowing occasional supervised trips into town. The property has been modernized while maintaining some original features and includes spacious living areas, outbuildings, and scenic surroundings. Inverlair Lodge's wartime history inspired the plot of the 1960s TV drama "The Prisoner."
