The blossoms and tulips are looking good down at the Pitlochry war memorial gardens.

One of our favourite art galleries, The Aberfeldy Gallery, is getting ready for the Spring exhibition. George Grant, Rowena Laing and Lin Pattullo will be displaying work between May 5th and June 20th. There should be some interesting paintings to see.
The Aberfeldy Gallery is about 25 minutes from Pitlochry, heading towards Loch Tay.

Our new guest bedroom for 2012 is The Bothy. A Victorian outbuilding behind the main house has been converted into an en-suite bedroom.
The room is bright and airy with two windows and a vaulted ceiling. King-sized Sealy bed, two leather armchairs and a 22 inch Toshiba LCD TV with integrated DVD player.
The Bothy is only a few yards from the front door of the main house for easy access to the guest lounge and breakfast room. There is also a private courtyard with teak table and chairs.
A few photos below:
You can see what The Bothy looked like during the refurb on our previous blog posts. I hope you agree we have improved it!

Our new breakfast room at Torrdarach House has been a big hit with our guests. It also seems to pretty popular with the Pitlochry red squirrels. Breakfast sightings are at an all time high with the happy little chaps performing very nicely indeed. Here are a few photos taken from the breakfast room.

We have snow on the grass today, but last week the weather was superb and a little bit of Spring colour emerged in the garden. We have a few photos below to prove it. The weather in Pitlochry is set to improve again this weekend and hopefully Spring will return.
Our crazy triffid-like bog plants are also emerging at an alarming rate.

We have recently installed a few lights around the Torrdarach garden which illuminate the house and some of our trees at night. We have our very own ‘enchanted forest’!
Despite being over-exposed and under-exposed all at the same time (quite a skill), my photos give you a feel for what Torrdarach now looks like in the dark. We will get some professional shots taken later in the year when there is a bit more colour in the garden.

We now have a more spacious car park at Torrdarach House with the addition of two new spaces…..the excitement never ends…..
Some fairly serious kit was involved in excavating and laying the two new spaces. The whole of the lower drive was also scraped flat again and covered in fresh gravel.

The construction of the new breakfast room extension went well and is now complete. Hurray! We fitted the oak floor last week and cleaned and furnished the room this weekend. The malt cupboard, which is now the entrance to the new breakfast room, has been relocated to new shelving on the other side of the fireplace in the lounge.
The new breakfast room has some great views into the garden and over Pitlochry. Difficult to photograph, but the snaps below should give you some idea of what we have done. Professional photos will follow later in the year.
