Autumn always hits Carradale early, and the chestnut tree along the road is beginning to turn. Always the first to come out and a real sign of Spring, it's now going a lovely orange. The colours on these nice sunny days we've been having are super - expecially if you get up to the trig point on the Deer Hill walk. Loads of purple heather, red rowans, and black brambles - Scotland at its very best.

And the swallows have all suddenly departed having had their usual get together on our telephone lines before they set off on their amazing journey.

We are having our busiest September ever, but don't forget our last minute booking offer of 25% off - there may be a wee gap for you; not to mention the ridiculously low rates on October.
