The Braes of Glenlivet is a place of peace and tranquility, a place of solitude, with historic links to ways of life long gone. The Bochal walk is a good example , with hut circles, a converted mill and views over to Scalan, dating back to the 1700’s, where an old catholic seminary and water mill sit at the foot of the snow capped Ladder Hills beyond. The Glenlivet Estate is a great place to explore and unwind - it’s right on our doorstep too 😁❀️πŸ₯ΎπŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί

Yesterdays adventure into the western cairngorms was very well sign posted πŸ˜ƒ. Meall Chuaich is one of the lesser distinct Munro’s , easily accessible from the A9, but the views from the top were second to none on such a glorious winters day πŸ˜β„οΈπŸ₯ΎπŸ”β›πŸ’™

A busy Sunday at Mountain Bike Trail Centre yesterday 🚴. The trails are a 10 minute drive from Balneden, or a refreshing bike ride away for the more adventurous - that was us yesterday πŸ˜πŸ‘. Popular with many of our guests, from families to adrenalin seekers, the trails offer something for all levels of ability . There’s even places to pause, catch your breath and take in the views, from north to south, including the , Cairngorm mountain and Balneden Steading tooπŸ˜πŸ’šπŸ‘Œ. And what better way to refuel your tired limbs at the end of the trail than with something yummy and your favourite hot or cold drink at the Centre’s cafe πŸ˜‹β˜•οΈπŸ§‹πŸ₯ŸπŸ₯ͺπŸͺ. Highly recommended 😍

Not sure where spring, summer or autumn has gone but we were definitely back with snowy wintery weather this morning 😩. Sounds like our local sheep think it’s crazy weather too 😁!

This little chap has been singing his heart out for the past two weeks 😊❀️🎼. We’ve spotted Mrs Dunnock too πŸ˜‰!
Turn up the volume to listen to his sweet melody and a very noisy Oyster Catcher calling over head πŸ˜ƒ
🀞it won’t be long before our guests can return to enjoy the sights and sounds of spring here at Balneden too πŸ˜ŠπŸŒ±πŸŒ€πŸ’š
