Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting and the Full Monty) gives a forthright Glaswegian monologue about the story of Johnnie Walker blended whiskey....the poor old bag-piper gets a poor reception! This brilliant film was shot at Inverlochlarig, at the head of Loch Doine, quite near to Balquhidder Mhor Lodges

Monachyle Mhor and Mhor 84 are running their regular "fun" and "serious" run events again this spring and summer. Generally starting at Mhor 84 just a mile down the Route 7 cycle path from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges....where you can rest your weary feet in the hot tub :)

Ben A'an is only a 30 minute drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges and is a great hill walk for families. This small mountain stands at 1491 feet tall, and it's exposed pointed summit gives a great 360 degree view of the Trossachs over Loch Katerine, Loch Achray and towards Ben Lomond

Loch Lomond Spring Fest is back this year on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd April. This free festival packs in two days of fun, food, drink and entertainment for all the family, including market stalls, live entertainment, Whisky and Gin tasting, Kids entertainment, Cooking demonstrations, World Street food and much more.... just an hours drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges

Couldn't resist the quotation.... in this case, Yorick's skull is actually a moss helmet pulled off one of the tree stumps! One of of guests was photographed in this pose whilst walking on the old drovers road near Balquhidder Mhor Lodges
