It happened 54 years ago to this date.....after the Fab Four played a gig in Edinburgh....and then took their R&R (rock n'roll?) at the Four Seasons Hotel at St Fillans, close to Balquhidder Mhor Lodge. Read the account posted in the Strathearn Herald at the time!

#DefenderJam is an annual family festival set in the stunning backdrop of Monachyle Mhor, Balquhidder, near Callander. The idea behind this is to bring together like-minded people who like Land Rovers, good food and drink and a fun and sociable day that the whole family will enjoy. The venue is just 20 minutes drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges.

Another brilliantly sunny day today at Balquhidder Mhor.....followed by a lovely sunset :)

Lochearnhead has a new Watersports Centre close to Balquhidder Mhor Lodges. Whether you fancy wake boarding, paddle boarding, water skiing, kayaking or simply being towed around on the banana, take a look at this new facility!

So after our Bluebells in May, we now have a fiesta of Foxgloves along the paths and walks around Balquhidder Mhor Lodges...what a beautiful sight to enjoy this summer. Did you know they are used to create a drug to treat heart disease...but don't eat them...they are poisonous!
