Apologies to all those that couldn't make it or we turned down. We had some, um, technical difficulties with our roads. Even now, not for the faint hearted with anything less than a battle bus! Normal service should resume next week, albeit the drive up to the hut will prove interesting.....

Happy Valentine's, or as the less romantically minded call it, Wednesday! 😂 A wild blizzard is blowing in today and bizarrely, no glampers in the hut. We're hoping romance isn't dead! The first of our trees for life are planted at the hut site. The first, the glampers decided to give it a name rather than dedicate it to someone, so please meet Bruce the Spruce! Thankfully being a Colorado Spruce, he's used to this weather. The second is a lovely flowering almond. Not dedicated yet but has been given prime position with a little shelter from the worst of the elements. Name tags to follow!

This is what our happy Xmas voucher glampers are getting today. A hamper of treats, bottle of fizz and at the back right there, a tree for life. The tree is a Colorado Spruce, native to the Rocky mountains. This particular species was used for medicinal purposes by the Navajo, whereby they would make a tea with the needles to treat colds and offer twigs as gifts to bring good luck. So it really is a tree for life! It will add a splash of beautiful blue to the Glamping area for sure. Next tree will be a native species I think. Perhaps a mighty Scots Pine or a mystical Rowan!

The sun is shining on the hut this morning 😎❄️

Today is one of those beautiful winter's day that seems all too rare nowadays, even up here in Scotland. The first picture is not far from us, looking south over Kinrosshire, Loch Leven, the Lomond to the left all towards Edinburgh. The Lomond is a great wee climb and provides an amazing view south over Fife and Edinburgh and north to the start of the Cairngorms. Unfiltered picture. The other two are in and around the road through the Ochils to us. Filtered. Our current glampers, two weary junior doctors up from Manchester, are fair stoked to be spending their weekend with us in this winter wonderland. Even as I type, I can hear them playing like kids in the snow. They totally deserve their break and we hope we send them home and back to work feeling refreshed and ready for those long and hard hours all our wonderful NHS staff put in, particularly during the winter!

Well that's Xmas and New Year finished and hopefully everybody's wallet and goodwill survived! We were fully booked for the entire festive period and enjoyed welcoming our happy glampers during that time. We've been given super host status for the eighth quarter running, making us super duper hosts with a cherry on top. With that, we've given the hut a refresh without losing any of its hutiness...a lick of paint here, a shelf there and a new bed as the old bed had, um, completed its task admirably! We're looking forward to the new season, with bookings already coming in thick and fast. So while we work our way through winter and dented wallet, how about having a think about a cheeky break to give yourself something to look forward to? Fire on, candles lit and a good book (on our new shelf we'll have you know!) and a glass of something nice while the winter fury gives you a show outside that panoramic window....snug and cosy! There's even a Gaelic word for it which I'll let you find out for yourselves. Don't forget our sister hut on the Isle of Lewis, Atlantic View, if you're thinking about a summer break. Beautiful island croft landscape with a view of the Atlantic that goes on forever. Imagine the corncrakes "craking", the smell of a peat fire and the Atlantic lapping the shore endlessly. These are the summer days we personally hold dear....

‪Barbie Claire and GI Kev had an awesome weekend in #Perthshire glamping in a Shepherds Hut. #Barbie #GIJoe #SecretLifeOfToys #wellbeing #OchilsEdge #glamping #shepherdshut #adventures #exploring #fun ‬

I spent the first 3 days of the new year tucked up inside this beautiful shepherds hut with @jvanoga and it was magical. #escape #shepherdshut #scotland #candles #hills #snow #woodburner #glamping #ochilsedgeglamping #fairylights #romantic #love #newyear #offgrid #beautiful #beautifuldestinations #nofilter

Something about Scotland felt so right. I was always meant to sleep in a tiny cabin in the highlands and wake up to this view, the sheeps baa-ing, and the rolling hills which seemed to go on forever.

Happiest birthday to my favourite human. Thank you for letting me share your birthday celebrations and I hope you have had a wonderful time!

last night we heard the whispers of the wind as the flames danced and called to our spirit before the moonlight awoke us from our slumber ⛺️🔥♥️ #glamping #ochilsedgeglamping #tranquil #serene #loseyourego #findyourself #scotland #luxurycamping #firepit #peacefulmoments #scottishglamping #perthshire #airbnb

Was super pleased with this glamping situation.

If anyone wants/needs to go somewhere that no one can find you, is really really beautiful and has no phone reception I highly recommend ochills edge glamping in Perth. It's literally paradise. There are even peacocks milling around. #glamping #thegoodlife #ochillsedgeglamping #offthegrid #holidays #scotland #ilovescotland
