Spring the best time of year, everything bursting into life! The gorse is wonderful with its coconut fragrance, everything has changed from grey to green! One of our lambing highlight was our quads, four beautiful lambs.
Our new wood chip boiler is working well after a few hiccups at the start, but fingers crossed its all sorted now.
We still have some availability for the Summer so please get in touch
January gave us some more very cold weather -10 but with that we got some beautiful sunrises and sunsets as well as crisp bright days and amazing starry nights. Also lots and lots of snow, Craig Meagaidh cliffs were just laden with snow!
Cairngorm Funicular Railway reopens
Good news for skiers and mountain enthusiasts Cairngorm mountain railway has at long last re opened after 4 years of repairs! The Funicular Railway is the highest railway in Scotland going up to the Ptarmigan Restaurant at 1065m. Worth a trip to the top even if you are not a skier, but it can get very busy at the weekends if the snow is good!
The top two left photos were taken at about 11pm and it was about -13, it was a great night for stargazing, quite impressed my camera (phone) managed to take photos in the dark! The next one is Ewan doing the late shift snow clearing in the wee tractor lighting up the tress. The last top photo is Gaskbeg Farmhouse looking very Christmassy thanks very much to Alan Docker for the wonderful wreath.
The bottom photos were all taken today the last day of 2022, what a beautiful day blue skies but cold, freezing spiders webs on the gate to the cottages.
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2023
