We can't recommend Gary enough, he is reliable, affable and knowledgable. His love of the beautiful Scottish Highlands always shines through and he has many a historical tale to tell. Operating from Muir of Ord he is conveniently just a mile and a half from Faebait Lodge.

A small post to introduce myself and my new business. I am Gary, a newly self employed chauffeur based in Muir of Ord, Highlands.

I am driving a Mercedes V class for your comfort and safety.

I have lived and worked in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland for over 40 years.

I am an experienced Emergency Services trained driver and look forward to driving you to your destination in the future 😁

Just over a mile from the door, do consider doing a tour of this historic distillery (I might even be your tour guide) or visiting the fabulous cafe.

Orion was so clear tonight. The full moon lighting up the sky too. I love watching the sky all day and night. The clouds can be beautiful but when it’s a clear night it’s just stunning. Here’s hoping for a few more auroras before the nights get too light. 🙏

You have all probably heard of the Culloden Battlefield just outside Inverness, but did you know that a stones throw from there are ancient cairns and standing stones, a fabulous viaduct and a beautiful river with waterfalls? Sometimes it’s best to stray off of the most well known track and you can discover some incredible places in the Highlands 😁

Lovely walk from nearby Strathpeffer to the Seer’s Stone which predicts “a child will find the ‘Seeing Stone’ in the belly of a fish in the waters of Loch Ussie”. Glorious views out over the loch and the rock maze made from stones donated from quarries all over Scotland giving a fabulous insight into its geology.

It’s even more beautiful in winter than in summer. Still lots to do, places to visit and fab restaurants and cafes to eat in. Do yourself a favour an experience the highlands in the low season 😊❄️💙

Preparing for our first Highland Winter- I predict a cosy one at Faebait Lodge- are you coming?

This was a great two hour workshop. Can thoroughly recommend!

Fungi season is here! We had a look around Balblair Woods in Golspie yesterday, and found 20 different species. Unfortunately we need a bit of rain to really get things going!

There will be a few more fungi walks in Easter Ross this season, you can book on via our Eventbrite page or via the HLH booking system if you are a High Life Highland Member.

Little trip out to Nairn today to swim at ‘the secret beach’ and find some more eateries to recommend to our guests. We ate at The Bandstand and were completely blown away by the standard of food and friendly service. We were a bit early for the live music but will be back!

This morning after a swim and walk at Loch Meig we rocked up in rather a disheveled state to the delightful Coul House Hotel in Contin looking like well, people who have just been for a wild swim and a wet and windy walk! 🤣. But our welcome, from owner Stuart, could not have been warmer.

Stuart explained their ethos is to encourage outdoor pursuits and that they were actually just waiting on a party of hill walkers who were arriving for lunch.

He showed us through to the well stocked bar (Brian was very impressed by their range of single malt whiskies) where we had excellent coffees accompanied by yummy homemade tablet and delicate, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread biscuits. So we stayed to sample the lunch menu and we’re not disappointed!

We can’t wait to return to sample the evening meals and afternoon teas which sound innovative and delicious. Stuart advises booking so as not to be disappointed as they are sometimes fully booked - and I can see why.
