Happy St Andrew's Day from us here at The Dulaig. I took this photo of the Cuillin mountains on the Isle of Skye whilst on a boat trip from Elgol to the beautiful Loch Coruisk. I was so enthralled by the hills that only later did I see the St Andrew's cross in the sky, just like the Scottish flag!

Our Cake Fairy at The Dulaig whisked up these little Star Spangled Meringues as a surprise to wish our guests from USA a very Happy Thanksgiving.

It has been our absolute pleasure to share our home, garden, love of Scotland and of food, with guests over the past 14 years. The experience of running our B&B exceeded our wildest dreams however we - Carol, Gordon (& The Cake Fairy) - have hung up our aprons for the last time.
Thank you to the wonderful guests from all over the world who have stayed with us. You have given us so many special memories which we will always treasure. Thank you too, everyone else who has supported us: your confidence in us was appreciated more than words can say.
Warmest Wishes to All, Carol, Gordon..and The Cake Fairy x
