News Update: Hello from Kim and Fraser 
 |
| Sunset at Briar Cottages garden on Loch Earn 1st January 2013 |
How is your New Year so far? Our Merry
Christmas flag came down weeks ago however we are still talking about the
Lochearnhead Hogmanay dance and 1st of January BBQ at the
garage. This year we had mulled wine, sausages, and curry. Our guests met
neighbours around "Fraser's
Bar". It was such a lovely clear night on the 1st Jan. The photo above was taken
at sunset, then we lit fireworks from the loch garden. It is never too early to book for Christmas or New Year 2013.
Short breaks and holiday
weeks, 2013: Are there special birthday or anniversary dates that you would
like to book at Briar Cottages? Easter, School holidays or Valentines? Book a
holiday around a birthday and Fraser will raise the birthday flag! There is a
Valentine's Party at The Lochearnhead Water Sports Centre on Friday, 15 February. Entry is £10 for a 2 course buffet and all
drinks £2 or £10 for a bottle of wine. Tickets from yours truly. The following
day, The Lochearnhead Hotel re-opens for the season with Dominoes Night Feb 16.
All welcome. The Clachan Cottage Hotel's pub and restaurant are being
refurbished and will open soon. You might consider booking around other key
events like The Highland Games 20 July 2013.
Events: Look out for other great
events around Loch Earn. This year sees the return of The formula 1 power boat
skiing race weekend of 25/26 May, Strathyre's 1st Music Festival with 70
performers June 1 and 2, The World Black Face Sheep shearing Championships June

Wildlife Watching: This is "Year of
Natural Scotland 2013" when we celebrate nature, landscapes, wildlife and the
arts. In addition to driving, walking or cycling around beautiful lochs, forests
and Munro's to spot wildlife, you can book with Tony from Natural Trossachs. He
is based at the outdoor centre in Strathyre 4 miles away and can take you to
squirrel, pine marten and badger hides to see and film creatures around their
habitats. Excellent value including coffee and biscuits at the
centre, www.naturaltrossachs.co.uk. If you prefer to be in a Landrover check
Hidden Glen Safaris who will take you off the beaten track into Balquhidder Braes to look for pheasant, deer
and eagles while you hear stories of Rob Roy MacGregor. If there are 4 of you
owner Alan will pick you up first www.hiddenglensafaris.co.uk

YouTube: If you have not viewed our YouTube
videos please look here: http://www.youtube.com/user/stayatbriar1. The latest images
show Fraser sledging down our garden slopes in deep snow. This is
the sort of activity that 70 year olds get up to in
Lochearnhead. NB: We are only 40 minutes from winter
skiing at Glencoe from here too. Did you see Glencoe on the latest Bond Movie?
A majestic place!
