Wedding Anniversary Adventures 7th August 2026
A completely miserable day so we decided to stay local and visit a couple of museums. First was a scenic drive up to the Clan Cameron Museum at Achnacarry. It was interesting learning about the history of Clan Cameron from the early beginnings in Lochaber to the present day and their involvement with Bonnie Prince […]

We decided to stay closer to home today and head just south of Oban to the Isle of Seil. This is where you can cross over the Atlantic Ocean at the Clachan Bridge, or as it’s more commonly known ‘Bridge over the Atlantic’, dating from 1792. We pulled over at a small car park just […]

Wedding Anniversary Adventures 3rd August 2026
We knew that the weather wasn’t going to be hot and sunny for our week off, typical, so how we ordered our days out was going to be governed by what the weather report said the evening before. Today we are heading south east driving down the A82 and A85 until the turning for Killin […]
A Visit to Kilmartin
We closed for a couple of days so that we could have a day out for Catherine’s birthday. Kilmartin Glen has been on our bucket list for some time. Kilmartin is 30 miles south of Oban heading towards Lochgilphead. It is an area with one of the richest concentrations of pre-historic monuments and historical sites […]
Genealogy, Ancestry and Family History
Who do you think you are? Over the years we have had quite a few people on their ancestry trail. They have been either staying with us or just popped in for tea and biscuits and a chat. With this in mind I have set up a FaceBook page called Glencoe and Ballachulish Genealogy, Ancestry […]
