We arrived at our cottage, Croftness Bothy exhausted and ready for Saturday night tv by the log burner. Some little body had other ideas though and proceeded with mission demolition and danger through every nook and cranny of the cottage. It made us realise just how 'Isaac proof' our own house has become and the prospect of a week with open planned living and no stair gates seemed almost infeasible.
Luckily, the next day we became much fonder of our little cottage after it happily welcomed 3 generations of friends. We had a wonderful time together. Firstly meeting the landlord's daughters and their ponies and then walking to the Birks of Aberfeldy. The Birks are very understated and truly beautiful. Everybody managed the pleasant walk through the forest and thankfully there was more water in the waterfalls than what fell from the sky! I was probably concentrating more on chatting than admiring the scenery but never mind, it's on our doorstep! Can't wait for the next gathering :)
