He takes customer service very seriously—every visitor gets a warm welcome, every purchase receives a thorough sniff inspection, and all complaints must be submitted with a treat. 🦴

Payment accepted: cash, card, or sausages.

And dinnae bother asking for a discount—he can spot a chancer at twenty paces! 😂

🏊‍♂️💦 WILD SWIMMING… or as we call it in Scotland, “GET IN THE WATER AND IMMEDIATELY REGRET YER LIFE CHOICES.” 🥶😂

Tucked away in the hills above Loch Ness, hidden amongst the trees, we've got our very own wee pond perfect for a spot of wild swimming. 🌲💦

Is it heated? Naw.
Is there a lifeguard? Naw.
Is there a pool bar? Also naw.
Will the cold water make ye produce a noise only previously heard from an injured bagpipe? Aye. Almost certainly. 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

But once yer in… it's peaceful, beautiful and surrounded by proper Highland scenery. 😍🌲

And when ye get oot, ye can strut back to yer lodge feeling like a rugged Highland warrior…

while secretly wondering if yer toes will ever work again. 🥶😂

So… who's brave enough? 👀💦

Tag the pal you'd absolutely convince to get in first “just to check the temperature.” 😂😂
