Our home is also our office and international visitors epecially appreciate the opportunity for tranquility
in their often hectic schedules. We can hold meetings or day workshops with up to 24 people.
The house is surrounded by trees hosting red squirrels.
Creag Dhu peeks through the trees to the north. The pond in the foreground was the Curling Pond from Glentruim House, although these days the front lawn has
claimed half of the original area.

The river Spey lies just to the north of the house
and meanders slowly down towards Newtonmore. It is one of the premier fishing rivers in Scotland
and is home to abundant wildlife, including a family of otters

Looking west gives superb long views up the Strath to
the village of Laggan, Strathmashie Forest and beyond to Creag Meagaidh. The fertile floodplain of
the Spey is a sharp contrast to the harsher moorland you encounter travelling over the pass of
Drumochter to get here from the south

One of the delights of the area is the number of
Scots Pines. In contrast to areas where the dark Sitka Spruce is the predominant conifer it is
refreshing to live amongst these lovely native trees. Our garden is rich in birdlife and deer
regularly wander through munching the roses, much to Jo's despair. To the north, by the river Findhorm
we have had the privilege of seeing golden eagles carry out their graceful mating ballet in the sky
