What an amazing autumn we have had temperatures up to 14 and not going below 8 at night quite astonishing for the end of October.  The changing of the clocks is what really signifies winter though, it was really getting dark by 5.30 today!.

Just about to start gathering in the ewes off the hills, hopefully Ewan and all the dogs will be heading out to the high tops at the weekend, so I hope the weather stays peaceful

A wee note for anyone travelling between Laggan and Newtonmore, the road has been re surfaced which is great but they have left very dangerous ‘tar cliffs’ at the edge of the road which could cause serious damage, please be very careful.

A beautiful day to end July, and to go for a swim in the Spey.  House martins in full feeding frenzy to keep up with their growing chicks, and some cool ewes who are very happy to have their coats off.

We still have availability in August so please get in touch.

Bog cotton amazing this year, this picture is just up the back on the flats before you head up the hill.  Which is were the cows are heading for the summer as part of our environmental scheme

The cafe and bike shop are now open at Laggan Wolftrax.

There is a new skills area this year and the Orange graded trail has also been recently re-surfaced.

After a very stormy February, March is definitely feeling a bit more like spring.  It is lovely to see the crocuses out and the grass starting to  going green, although quite often the weather does this – just as you think it’s spring we are plunged back into winter  with a few inches of snow!

Staying with winter, the ski centres have been having some fantastic days, and we have had ski mountaineers out on our hill reporting good conditions and great skiing.

Janet one of our pedigree shorthorn cows has had twins!

What do we name them?  For once it was easy, Fiona who works with us, her mum is Janet and she has a sister called Shirley

Say Hello to Fiona and Shirley!

After a very mild New Year winter has returned! with a ‘skinch’ of snow – more than a skiff but less than an inch!

The photos were all taken in December, we have had amazing weather it has been frosty and calm, with the most amazing sunrises and sunsets.

The last photo was taken just as the light was fading and Ewan was still working in the fank, you can just make out the sheep.

Fingers crossed we finally say goodbye to Covid

Wishing everyone a prosperous and happy New Year
