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.

Loads of information on the event can be found on the main event website:

Only 500 places are available so book your place soon. Our Pitlochry accommodation, Torrdarach House, is perfectly placed for you to make the most of the marathon weekend.

A new floor was needed in the en-suite shower room for Room 3. It seemed like every pipe in Pitlochry ran under this floor!

On a wander through the garden today taking photos of the new extension I noticed our first snowdrops of 2012. Is this a sign of an early Spring in Pitlochry…….I hope so!

We have had an incredibly productive first 8 days building the new breakfast room extension.
From starting to dig foundations to wind and water tight in less than two weeks! Let’s hope things continue this smoothly.
Here is an image gallery of the job in progress. Click on the thumbnails for large images.

Planning permission came through before Christmas and work starts tomorrow – our new south-east facing breakfast room.
We have already done some serious pruning of two giant rhododendrons so the new building will have a clear view down into the woods.
I have attached some before and after photos of the rhoddy removal and two drawings of the new extension. Should all be done in about six weeks time. Exciting.
