I am delighted to share our Highland Lodge with you. It is our family home set in one of the most beautiful parts of the planet. The silence can be deafening, until the birdsong comes. We have spent so many happy times up here and the lodge is the perfect setting to explore the area. I believe we are alienating ourselves from nature, and therefore from our true selves - and being here helps us to reconnect with what we are losing - losing at out peril. I hope you reconnect here and find peace within and without.
