Spring has been a mixture of winter and more winter but at last we are seeing some improvement. Whatever the weather it hasnt stopped visitors to our Perthshire house from enjoying themselves. Read some of our recent comments.... >

Into SpringMarch 2008

The recent weather has been poor; distinctly more Winterish than Spring like. But, evidence of Spring is emerging in the garden and the local Perthshire countryside. >

Happy New YearJanuary 2008

The first few days of January have been marked by some heavy snow. This makes the views over Loch Tay and of the surrounding Perthshire countryside even more dramatic. >

Autumn approachesSeptember 2007

September and October can be a lovely time of year in Perthshire. The heather on the hillside is beginning to darken from the colourful purple that dominated for the last six weeks or so. The leaves on the trees are definitely beginning to turn with the onset of autumn. Taronga provides some great views of Loch Tay and mountains in the ever changing light. >

Our First GuestsAugust 2007

July was a milestone for Taronga as we welcomed our first visitors, the Heesch family from Germany, who by all accounts had a great time both in the local area and at Taronga. >
