Recent guests at Balquhidder Mhor Soghail Lodge enjoyed a great day out white water rafting at Aberfoyle and were kind enough to share their photo's with us. Our guests were hosted by Splash Rafting who look to be a really great outfit who also offer other water sports activities such as canyoning. Looks to be absolutely great fun!

Some great photos from our guests paddle boarding on Loch Lubnaig, only 10 minutes drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges. This is a great place to paddleboard, overlooked by the Munro of Ben Ledi. You can enjoy a hot cuppa or a snack at the cafe at the carpark... looks like brilliant fun :)

There is a fantastic walk above Callander which takes you over the Bracklinn waterfalls. Completing the 3.5 mile circuit has not been possible recently as the powerful waterfalls kept washing away the bridge. The £110k bridge erected in 20210 only lasted 6 years. The new steel bridge should stand the test of time!

Spring is always a few weeks later up in the Trossachs. whilst many of you may have seen your daffodils come and go...the ones we planted in front of the Soghail Lodge are just in bloom..... Beautiful!

Auld Lang Syne is a great Scots tradition to sing on New Years Eve....a nod to remember good times gone by. Prince gave a great performance of this Burns ditto on Hogmany 1987 at Paisley Park....the opening bars are the chords for Purple Rain...then Prince makes his entrance, which is where we pick it up, and he gives his rendition (some nice licks at the end for the rockers)....enjoy....Happy New Year from Balquhidder Mhor Lodge!
