Blair Drummond Safari Park had a new arrival yesterday morning.... a baby White Rhino! Mum Dot gave birth to her sixth calf. Dad, Graham, will have to wait until next spring to meet his little girl. Blair Drummond staff are asking for name suggestions via their social media @BlairDrummondSP

A son of one of our good friends, Ethan Gourlay, had one of his paintings bought this week by the comedian Harry Hill. Ethan is studying art at Dundee, and we are lucky enough to have one of his early works in our Teaghlach lodge :)

In Gaelic, Soghail means luxury, and we had some nice drone videos taken this summer. Here's are some short clips showing great views of the front and rear decking.

The Callander Jazz and Blues Festival returns this weekend, running from 30th September to October 2nd. Once again a great line up for the largest rural Jazz and Blues festival in Scotland.

We had a really special guest recently at Balquhidder Mhor Lodge, Alfie the Amazonian bird of paradise! Alfie is a Black Headed Caique. He was quite at home checking out the Highland Ponies, showing us where he was on our map and of course eating his lunch. Check out his special backpack for his walkabouts!
