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!

A lovely selection of specials at Mhor 84 for lunch today...al fresco to boot. Warm Dry Aged Beef Salad, Chanterelles, Comrie Croft Veg, Walnut and Blue Cheese....delicious!

Some of the best beer and food in the Trossachs - Sample the beer festival at the Lade Inn, August 26th through until September 11th

Loch Lubnaig is a great place to mess about in the water....
