If it wasn't the case of fuel being so expensive I'd say come visit us!

Whether you want to walk or cycle in the glens, mountain bike on world class courses, or hike the surrounding hills (some of which are 3000 feet high), this is a beautiful area in which to do it all; and it's one of Scotland's best kept secrets!
The region is rich in history, too. It’s where St Ninian landed when bringing Christianity to Scotland, and a thousand years later it was a significant area in Covenanter history. The Covenant was signed by those who refused to accept the King as self-appointed head of the church. That is God’s position they said; and thousands died for the truth of it. To this day the monarch is the head of the Church of England (anglican) but not the Church of Scotland.
This is where I was born and grew up.
But having moved away at 17, I never appreciated it for what it was. When I moved back here a few years ago I was delighted to discover so much beauty and history. And I am proud to show our guests around.
These particular glens are quite close to my home and frequently visited – with or without guests. We love to go and see how much water is coming over the waterfall, or if there are any salmon leaping; we love to see if the geese or black swans are on the water; and, of course, in the spring we must go up to see the lambs.
