Balgonar Bothy

Amazingly central for exploring Scotland, Balgonar is a small estate about equidistant from Glasgow and Edinburgh (40 minutes) and about 30 minutes from Stirling. Owners Libby and George Elles have converted part of their old stonebuilt farm steading to make a comfortable self catering studio perfect for a couple who would like to stay in a quiet rural holiday retreat.

Libby has her own free range chickens, Aberdeen Angus cattle, sheep and Gloucester Old Spot pigs, and can supply eggs, home-cured bacon and meat as well as fruit and vegetables from her walled garden in season. For your other provisions, the little village of Saline, which has a shop, post office and pub, is only a mile away.

Balgonar Cottage

There is also a sofa bed which can sleep another 2, and a hundred yards away they have another cottage (left) which sleeps 5 to 6, so if you are a family or party of friends it is possible to rent both to accommodate up to 10 altogether. See Balgonar Cottage.
