More About Us

We are from Glasgow in Scotland. David was a desk bound accountant and Company Director for various firms for over 30 years and Pheona is a professional artist and art tutor. We have renovated two properties in Scotland together, and hope to renovate the barn here beside our house to include a purpose built studio for the painting holidays.

Pheona is the arty one, with a love of anything creative. She paints in oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, loves sculpture of all kinds, pottery,.......and will try to make almost anything. Currently she is designing the barn conversion and the landscaping of the garden as well as building the web site.

We are both very much involved in anything creative or outdoorsy. David plays the guitar and is learning the bagpipes (but won't practice during your stay - he promises!)

We are cyclists, hill walkers, ski/snowboarders, climbers, motorcyclists and generally have a go at anything but are not obsessive or fantastic at any sport either. We just enjoy being outdoors and active.

For you this means if you want advice on trails to walk or cycle we can help out.

David loves history & geography and can tell you all about the Matilda castles and the history behind her reign.

Excuse the photos, Pheona in particular is usually behind the camera so we will get better ones in time!
