A NEW study has revealed Scotland has some of the “weirdest” Airbnbs in the world.
Confused.com compiled some of the strangest locations listed to find out how much they would cost in comparison to similar properties in the area, as well as looking into what features they have to offer.
One of the Airbnbs featured in the study is Pilot House, situated in the Highlands. The one-bed aluminium structure was built to resemble a Conning Tower on a submarine, with 360-degree views over the balcony. For £160 a night, the property costs 25.24% less than other properties in the area.
Drimnin’s Airship is also on the list – the “quirky” sustainable getaway costs £160 a night.
Venturing out of Scotland, the top spot has been awarded to the Bubble Suite in Mexico.
At £174 a night, the fancy version of glamping is situated in Mexico’s famous wine country and is actually one of a whole range of bubble buildings. It costs 167% more than other two-bedroom rentals in the area.

Taking the title of second-weirdest is the Dreamy Tropical House in Hawaii – an adult-sized treehouse with a 360-degree view of a tropical jungle.
The secluded spot will set you back £217 a night, which is only £34 more expensive than typical Airbnbs in the local area.
Of all the Airbnbs analysed, Treehouse Blue Mountains in Australia was the most costly. Staying at this property costs a whopping £1272.48 a night – a staggering 613% above the average in the area.
Sharma Springs is the second most expensive property on the list. Costing £750 a night, the half villa, half treehouse in Bali offers a once in a lifetime experience to relax and have fun up within the leaves.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
