Fraser and I are always humbled by the magnificent photographs and helpful comments that guests take time to send to us and for
TripAdvisor and
Holiday Lettings review pages. New guests often comment that reviews and pictures help them to match what they desire from a holiday and location. Thank you to everyone who has given me permission to use their pictures on my blog and social media sites. Some guests use professional cameras that can capture the ospreys in flight, for example, however we are delighted to see all photos even if they are taken on a mobile phone.

| Briar Steading guests meet Gerard Butler at The Four Seasons Hotel, Loch Earn by Fareshta |
Guests have captured deer, ospreys and other birds. Last weeks guests managed to photograph a native species that was very special indeed. Having journeyed from Bahrain for their first family holiday in Scotland, they asked where they should go locally to experience Scottish salmon that was "beautifully cooked with a nice recipe" They had already been wowed by the tasty food at
MHOR84 in Balquhidder so I suggested
The Four Seasons Hotel at St Fillans overlooking Loch Earn. They were pleased with the recommendation and enjoyed their meal, however there was a bonus surprise. The sons in the family spotted a familiar face in the restaurant. They told their parents that an A list Hollywood actor was in the restaurant. The parents were sure that they must be mistaken, however the waitress confirmed that it was indeed
Gerard Butler. He was made aware of their presence and invited them to have a chat after dinner. Even better, he kindly posed with them for the photograph shown. This was their first family holiday in Scotland. They feel very lucky to have met one of Scotland's most successful actors who was approachable and generous with his time in the true spirit of Scottish hospitality.
Some more wonderful guest pics!
