[ From the guestbook ]
Left on the kitchen table.
“We arrived to a lit fire and fresh scones. Didn't leave the sofa for two days. Perfect.”
“The quietest place I've ever slept. Glen thinks of everything — even the dog had a blanket.”
“Woke to snow on the hills and the kids still talk about the stars. We've already rebooked.”
[ The neighbourhood ]
A pub, a loch, a castle, a dram.
Twenty-five minutes from Glasgow, a world away from it. Glen's hand-drawn map shows where to walk, eat and wander.
[ Stay in touch ]
Occasional letters from the bothy.
Four a year, one per season. Open dates, first frosts, and the odd recipe.
