We've swapped over to a new booking system for our events at the Downright Gabbler. It's taken quite a few months and been more than a little stressful but thanks to the fabulous Fentons, our website designers, we finally seem to have cracked it.

It seems to be working OK, but if you have any issues at all with it, particularly if you have a gift voucher, remember you can contact us directly on 01463 782800 or e mail at [email protected] and I'm sure we will be able to sort it out.

One of the best things about the new system is that it doesn't charge a booking fee when you book on line so that has to be good news!

We have had an extraordinary run of great reviews in the last week or so.

They were a mix of Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp. And also for a real mix of events, from our new Beauly guided walk and light lunch offering to an exclusive use event. Some were staying with us, others just visited for the event.

We're really delighted - check them out for yourself below. And if you fancy booking for our upcoming Halloween or Christmas events, get in touch as soon as you can as we're already getting quite a lot of bookings through...

"I can confidently say that our "Stroll Before Lunch" with Downright Gabbler was one of the premier highlights of our trip. A memory that will forever be etched in our hearts. If you're looking for an experience that combines the charm of history with the comfort of good food and the warmth of great storytelling, look no further. Thank you for a truly unforgettable experience!" James, USA

"Great experience! Hosts were wonderful, an amazing family run business!" Lizzy UK

"I have to say we have never experienced such an interesting private meal and so thoroughly recommend The Downright Gabbler if you are planning a special evening whether just as a couple or larger group." Rebecca, UK

"Like others here, I cannot stress enough what a memorable experience it will be for you. Any trip to the Highlands should include the lovely Beauly and the magnificent hosts at the Downright Gabbler." Lynda, Canada

Last week I highlighted the legendary Thomas Telford, a civil engineer who transformed the Highlands with his roads, canals and harbours. He made his mark in the 1800s.

Fast forward a century and there was another Thomas who also made his mark on the Highlands and left an amazing legacy - Tom Johnston, who died on this day in 1965. As Secretary of State for Scotland he was determined to bring jobs out of the industrial heartlands in the south and spread them more equitably around the country. But to do that power was needed for factories and homes.

In the 1940s the Highlands could be a pretty bleak place, with limited infrastructure if you lived outside the main settlements. Only 1 in 6 farms and 1 in 100 crofts had an electricity supply. The solution was water - which we had in abundance.

Tom Johnston founded, and later chaired, the North of Scotland Hydro Electric Board which built 54 power stations and 74 dams, including this one, the Monar dam.

An astonishing engineering feat, they brought power from the glens but also to the glens, so even the most remote croft could get an electricity supply. Thanks to the vision of Tom Johnston almost every house in the Highlands is connected to mains electricity.

Considered by many to be the greatest Scotsman of his generation, this was just one of many contributions he made during a stellar political career, yet he is almost forgotten now. Tom Johnston's biography, Without Quarter, by Russell Galbraith is well worth a read. And to find out more about hydro electricity, pop in to the Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre, just off the A9, or visit the Hollow Mountain at Cruachan in Argyll.
