Happy Lambing!
Spring has sprung at Loch Ness with Marion our Head Housekeeper taking time off to deliver this years lambs. She lives with her husband high in the hills above Loch Ness in a place called Abriachan.
You can take a marvellous walk from the hotel right up to the top of Abriachanand get both excellent exercise and see the stunning views over Loch Ness. There is also a fantastic mountain bike assault course for the brave hearted.
It is said in the olden days that Abriachan was famous for the illicit distilling of whisky to supply the growing population of Inverness - sadly those days are all gone - fallen into the mists of time of local history.
Talking about history, last week was the aniversary of the Battle of Culloden - 16th April 1746 and yesterday the Gaelic Society of Inverness held a service of Rememberance for the fallen.
People came from all over the world. We even had a gentleman and his son from Dublin staying with us to attend the ceremony. The Loch Ness Clansman Hotel is an excellent base.
This week Rory, Sarah and myself are off to Visit Scotland Expo at the SECC in Glasgow - This is a showcase exhibition for the tourist trade, where buyer meets supplier. We would like to extend an invitation to you all to visit us at stand D7 (hall 3) where I will be able to regail you with stories from the Clansman here at Loch Ness.
Look forward to seeing you and good luck with the lambing!!

On New Year's Eve 1940, a World War II Bomber ditched into Loch Ness. The Wellington was recovered in 1985 and can now be seen at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey.
