Coffin Roads LRP

A larp for 12 players by Coffin Roads LRP and Clarion LARP

3rd-6th December 2026

‘This dying landscape belongs to the dead.’

Norman MacCaig

Dark and Lonely Water is a horror live action roleplaying (LARP) game inspired by Scottish history, works of isolation horror such as The Thing, The Terror and Annihilation, and the myths and legends of the highlands. 

Twelve players will take on the pre-cast roles of a 1990s film crew sent to make a documentary in an isolated part of the Scottish Highlands, and will act out the actions of these characters in response to other characters and the unfolding plot of the event. The game will feature a guided hike through some of Great Britain’s most spectacular scenery, with an ascent of the Munro Beinn Na Lap if conditions permit.

Where?

Players meet in Glasgow City Centre for pre-game workshops, then will then take the train together IC from Queen Street Station up the West Highland Line to Corrour Station, the highest railway station in the UK and inaccessible by road.

Accommodation and the main setting of the game will be in the stunning Loch Ossian Youth Hostel, accessible only on foot.
