As the Indian summer continues, we have been treated to some spectacular temperature inversions at Balquhidder Mhor Lodge. Here are a few early morning pictures taken from the decking....

The Indian summer we've enjoyed has certainly put the bees into overdrive. Walking around the paths a Balquhidder Mhor Lodge, you could see literally hundreds of bees gorging on the nectar of the purple thistle plants. Here's a gallery of the best shots we took...it's looking promising for the honey!

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

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!
