New pictures in the bedrooms

You may remember this image which we took in October 2010. We think it's spectacular. So we've just made a further picture for each bedroom from the photograph (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com), with a little bit of explanation at the bottom to say where it was taken. The photograph was taken on the banks of the River Forth in Stirling, looking East.

We've added a video to page 1 of our webpage

We have just added a video to the first page of our webpage (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com). We're mighty proud of it, as it was made by one of our visitors who wanted to give it to us as a present. We feel she will make a really good film maker, don't you?

A new member of staff

Our blog has fallen by the wayside a bit, as we've been so busy during the summer; we've had some lovely people to stay and they have all been most complimentary about what we provide (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com). Being so busy has meant we've had to take on more staff, so Ella has joined us. We're delighted to have her and she seems to like us too, so welcome Ella, we look forward to working with you.

The house is made of traditional Scottish stone

We have said on page 1 of our webpage (http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com) that the building is an "historic stone farm-workers' cottage, built around 1820, with many attractive original features". The image shows just one of the corner stones from which the cottage is made. You can also see another stone to the left of it, behind the plants. These stones are all along the base of the side and front of the building, showing the ground level construction. As we understand it, the stones were quarried locally. Similar stones make up all the outside walls, with smaller stones on top of the larger ones. The whole wall is then harled to give it the pebbledash finish you can see. These buildings are usually very strong and keep the heat in in the cold weather.

Baby's cot is a great success

We've had a cot for a baby for quite sometime, but have lacked the baby to put in it! This situation has just been resolved as we've had the sweetest little baby of 4 months old to stay with his doting parents. He loved the cot, so we were delighted. His little smile would light up the room (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com/page2.htm)

Garden furniture

We've just bought some garden furniture, now that the weather's warm enough to sit outside for longer periods. We're absolutely chuffed to bits with the furniture, what do you think? So now you can sit outside in a leisurely fashion under the trees with a nice hot or cold drink and put the world to rights.

Profile of the highlands

At this time of year the highlands are often clearly visible from Fraser's (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com) as this picture shows. As Stirling is known as The Gateway to the Highlands, a good view of them seems very appropriate. As you turn off Causewayhead to come down the road to Fraser's the hills are very evident.
