CONGRATULATIONS.....the BLiSStrail. wins the Scottish Tourism #ThistleAwards...check out the link for a 30 second film giving a flavour of the brilliant art installations around the Lochearn, Strathyre and Balquhidder villages...we'll get some more pictures to share this autumn...#BlissTrail

The highland ponies at Balquhidder Mhor are in the lower paddock at the moment...and they definitely love the occasional carrot....be sure to bring a couple along!

Mhor please! - Venison haunch, red cabbage, pumpkin and turnip; Scallops, crushed peas and crispy pancetta (black pudding to boot) - brilliant grub for a cold Autumn evening in the Trossachs

The hot tub at Balquhidder Mhor lodge was dressed for a spooky Haloween.......nothing that a chilled glass of fizz couldn't remedy!

Congratulations to Liam and Daria - newly engaged at Balquhidder Mhor Lodge this week! All the very best for the future......Liam......you're a romantic.....thanks for sharing these memories
