Migdale Pods Luxury Glamping

To all our farmers heading down to London today, and all our farmers having to stay behind to milk, to feed calves, to tend to their flocks and pigs - to do what they do every single day.

To those who own their farms, and to those that rent their farms. To those who have enjoyed a lifetime working their land and building a resilient business that the next generation are excited to take on. To those that are just starting out and battling to make ends meet. To those who have invested heavily in getting their farms future proofed. To those who probably should be slowing down a bit, but can't. To those who love their way of life, and those that are questioning their way of life. To those who are struggling to know what to do next. To those who are terrified of what might come next.

To those who work so hard to feed our nation, take care of our beautiful countryside and pass on your knowledge, work ethic and lifestyle to the next generation.

Know that we stand right behind you. The whole bloody country does.

Me and Jess (the dog) had Dornoch beach all to ourselves this evening 🚶‍♀️🐾

That’s us now closed for the winter and we’d like to say a very big thank you to everyone that has stayed with us this year. It was a pleasure to meet you all and hopefully we’ll see some of you again sometime 😊

As well as varnishing the exterior of the pods and carrying out some maintenance, I’ve been enjoying getting into the hills lately while this good weather lasts ⛰️ 😎

There’s also been some very lovely skies which I love 🌌 🌅

The darker photos are some taken on my phone last night and the brighter ones are from a recent guest who was even able to see the lights from inside their cosy pod ✨

We open again at the beginning of April and bookings are open for those that like to plan ahead...

We can also make vouchers to the value of your choice for anyone who is looking for a special Christmas gift 🎄🎅

Had a walk up my favourite local hill today - Carn Chuinneag ⛰️

The weather was as predicted with a beautiful sunny walk up, a howling gale at the top and horizontal rain on the way back down, but it was all great!

Didn’t meet another soul on the hill today.

The trees took a hammering from the wind the other night but there’s still plenty colour about 🍂🌿🍁

The pods are closed this week as Duncan is competing at the Royal National Mod in Oban on Thursday and Kirsty has a stall there with her Flùrag Floral Design flowers and artwork, so we’re all heading there for a wee break 🎶 💐

We open again from Sunday the 20th until we close for winter at the end of the month, and have availability if you’d like to book a stay with us.

The weather may have turned colder but you’re guaranteed a cosy stay with underfloor heating, warm duvets and British wool blankets.

The pods have everything you need from en suite, full sized oven and 2 ring hob to Smart TVs.

The autumn colours just now are beautiful, and our last guests were excited to be treated to a show of the Northern Lights which they could view through the glass doors without even going outside! 🍂 🌈

Photos below are a selection from each pod by S.M Photography, as well as a glimpse into the ‘shed’ which is stocked with toys, books, family games and a washing machine available for guests.

I’ve included a few photos taken on my phone of the lovely light outside right now 📷

You can check out our 5 star reviews 🌟on Airbnb but book direct for best prices.

If you’d like flowers, chocolates, fizz or whatever added to you stay please contact us to discuss.

So if you fancy a peaceful, fun stay, in beautiful surroundings, we’d love to welcome you here 😊

Sutherland Sessions are a small, local, voluntary committee who bring lots of fantastic music to East Sutherland.

Any nominations would be very welcome…

Have you enjoyed our concerts this year? Or enjoyed coming up to play for us? Please consider nominating Sutherland Sessions for “Club of the Year” and/or “Community Project of the Year” in the Trad Awards! As a completely voluntary and not for profit group we are all brought together by our love of music and we love bringing such fantastic musicians to Sutherland!

With support acts from our local area playing whenever they are available. And we look forward to welcoming Megan MacDonald, Chloë Bryce and Calum Mcilroy this month and TRIP next month!!
