A rubbish pile outside of Kirktoun Cottage can only mean one thing…a new bathroom is in the offing 🚿

This is a job we’ve been wanting to do for ages, but it kept slipping down the priority list. As ever, what started as just a new bathroom, has typically grown arms & legs, & now nearly every room is getting a little bit of TLC.

It’s a hard working holiday cottage though and we love investing back in it - & all our cottages - making them as lovely as we can for our guests to enjoy.

I’ll keep you updated as things progress…🛠️

🍎And that’s our 2026 apple harvest all safely delivered to Helen & Bill, the proud new owners of elginsorchardscotland now based at Byres Farm

🍏 We have a long heritage of growing fruit here at Duffus. Once I dig it out I’ll share some photos of some amazing printed booklets, dating from the 1800’s, published by one of Ed’s ancestors. They detail all the types of apples & pears grown here - over 140 & 120 different types respectively 😳

🏕️ Wow, after a long 4 year slog, we finally managed to get our campsite open on 29th May😅

🚐 Since then, the last few months have gone past in a flash. We’ve learned loads whilst also meeting loads incredible campers. It’s been great chatting to you all & hearing about your camping adventures around Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏕️ We’ve even had quite a few returning campers which has been particularly satisfying - we’re obviously doing something right 😅

🚐 Now we’ve hit October, we only have 4 weeks left of the season! Sooo, if you’ve been meaning to visit us, this is your nudge to get booking before we close at the end of the month. We’d love to welcome you 🤩

🐮 Well, you all ‘met’ Agnes’s ample backside in my last reel (🙈) so here is the lovely lady herself!

🐮 Agnes is the matriarch of our 3 coos & likes to make sure they all fall in line. She loves getting groomed & also loves her food!

🐮 She might be a bit bolshy at times but we all love her - she’s a total character 😍
