Very happy to be harvesting the sun. Will be much more interested in the weather forecasts now!

Feeling excited about having solar panels installed next week, but sad about loss of the big birch that came down in recent storms. Hadn’t realised how big it was. Lots of chopping to do this Easter!

Beautiful Nacreous clouds this morning up here in the north.

Hello to everyone who follows, whether you have stayed with us or not. This is a heads up…. There is a new certification process which will apply to all accommodation providers in Scotland. Lagganvoulin will aim to have its application in by the deadline of 1st October, but if there are any delays or issues to my application it means that I can no longer legally accept bookings after 1st October this year. Bookings that are in my system before that date will be fine, even if they need to change dates nearer the time. So, to avoid disappointment, I am suggesting that anybody who was thinking about booking over the next year or two should perhaps get some dates requested ASAP. Most/all of the requirements for the certificate are already in place at the cottage but I need to sort out evidence for everything and complete lots of paperwork to submit before 1st October.

Happy and healthy 2023 to all! Fresh fall of snow overnight and temps set to keep it.

11/12/2022

Sorry, another one of the snow, but it is now 15” deep (not in drifts) and the sun has come out. Again thanks to John and Shona, our most regular guests, for these once in a lifetime views.

Thanks to John for this!

Finally got some safe steps put in to get up the banking - only taken 8 years!

18/11/2022

Quite a bit of rain….

Thanks to my sister for wallpapering our boot room last weekend - very tricky bits definitely challenged us. Now just to get the wood panelling painted (next weekend) and get the shelves and coat hooks up….

26/04/2022

So we are finally finished (well, apart from some paint and wallpaper and hooks in the boot room ). First guests enjoying the new facilities this week. Might take a while to prettify the outside but roll on summer…!

What shouts “Scottish Highland cottage” more than a tongue and grooved pantry with fablon shelves and an old shortbread tin?!

28/02/2022

Electrics and plumbing half done. Internal doors being hung. New windows for rest of house this week hopefully. Painting whenever we can get there (snow making track impossible for the last week or so). Oh, and a new range cooker!

28/11/2021

Double doors moved, internal walls at rear going up and stove semi-fitted in new kitchen/living area

10/11/2021

Roof on rear and underfloor pipes in. Cables and pipe work done and old gable wall exposed and cleaned with liner for log burner installed. Race now to get the concrete floor down so it might be tiled before Christmas…

20/09/2021

Foundations and drainage complete and now some kit walls in place. Roof next. Windows start of October hopefully.

25/08/2021

After a busy week clearing and emptying, the work has begun…

Not a great photo but these are the first Pine Martens we have seen - these two photographed from the kitchen

Squirrel has survived the winter, and the wild boar have been close to the house over the lockdown.
