The Deil’s Caldron

The weather can be a little unpredictable in Scotland at this time of year, so it’s always a good idea to take advantage when conditions are good. Last week we found a walk in Comrie called the “Deil’s Caldron” (Deil means Devil). It took us through a rocky gorge with two little waterfalls and some glorious views of the Perthshire hills and the Melville Monument. As with many of the walks in Scotland that we have found, the path is well made up and accessible for most casual walkers.

A glorious view, and some snow still to be seen

Much to our excitement, we were treated to a view of a dipper… not a bird we often see.

Plant of the Month for March: Tete a tete Daffodils

Planted en masse in the grass or in pots by the door, these diminutive, golden daffodils are looking particularly beautiful in the garden this month. They are small enough to stand up well to the strong winds that buffet our garden, whilst their taller relatives have suffered.

A host of golden daffodils!
