Strolling along the Rob Roy way today and came across this beautiful toadstool nestling in alongside the purple heather.....would love to know if it was edible!

This poor old traffic cone had lost it's fluorscent stripe...but this bunch of wee Scottish thiistles certainly cheered the old fella up...thanks to whoever made this up on Cycle Route 7 near Balquhidder Mhor

Cosy up in a luxury Scottish Log Cabin this Christmas. Located in the heart of the Trossachs near Balquhidder, now available for Christmas 2016. Sleeps up to four people in two en-suite bedrooms. Lodge includes luxury hot tub spa, decking, weather shelter, morning patio. Ideal for couples or families.

Originally built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell (Donnchadh Dubh) of Glenorchy in the 16th century, on land acquired by the Campbells after their campaign for proscription, and subsequent demise of the MacGregors. It is said that Black Duncan pushed the castle's builder off the roof, in part to avoid paying him, but also because he omitted to construct the ramparts that had been requested. It is also said that the ghost of the builder has been seen walking on the roof!

When the sun shines in the Trossachs it really is a beautiful place. Here's a few pictures of Balquhidder Mhor Luxury Log Cabin and the views from the decking....spectacular!
