A welcome return to Ardvullin House in Ardgour, a short distance from the Corran Ferry slip, having last stayed here in August 2018. The house itself is a former ghillie’s cottage, dating from the 18th century. It’s worth a reminder that it is owned by the HopScotch children’s charity, which provides breaks for kids from…
On the weekend of 12th/13th August, the club made a first return to the magnificent Rothiemurchus Lodge, perched high in the foothills of the Western Cairngorms.

The lodge is an impressive two storey wooden building with enough bedrooms to accommodate the club…

The accommodation is the Club Hut of the Cairngorm Club and is extremely well appointed and comfortable with showers and good sized kitchen and communal area. The location itself is a short distance from…
April’s meet took us over the “bridge” to Skye to a change of venue after our original destination in Torrin was cancelled due to renovation work being carried out.
