Out At Last

We Had 4 ft of snow in Aberlour

After 4 weeks of deep snow I finally dug to car out and took a run over to the coast. It was very cold on the beach but nevertheless nice to get out of the house and into the fresh air

Decorating Season

January is a quiet month, so time for Ros to get her paintbrushes out. This year we are decorating our 2 family rooms and the dining room. After two weeks of hard work everything will be finished for Friday 22nd January when we open for the 2010 season.


We are currently working on our Spey Fishing packages, combining Diner Bed & Breakfast at Norlaggan with a weeks salmon fishing on the River Spey. The first week will be 14th February (a few days after the start of the Salmon Season) and until the end of march a weeks fishing, with accommodation and evening meal will be £360 per person (based on 2 people sharing a double or twin room).


We will be posting further information here and on our web site . . in the meantime if you are interested please email admin@norlaggan.co.uk

New Day Old Chicks

We got a new batch of day-0ld chicks last Thursday. In about 20 weeks they will join our ISA Warrens supplying eggs for the bed and breakfast

Chickens Come To Norlaggan

Every year we use over 2,000 eggs in our Bed & Breakfast. We have been fortunate for a number of years to have local freerange eggs supplied by a friend. Unfortunately he has decided to stop keeping chickens (don't worry . . . . the chooks aren't being slaughtered . . they are being allowed to live out their lives, laying or not)


We know how much our guests appreciate real free range eggs so we are launching in to poultry keeping.


We have found a source for day-old chicks which would otherwise be sent to a battery farm. So 9 chicks are now being kept warm and cosy in preperation for moving into their lovely new home supplied by The Chicken House Company Ltd.

We are looking on this little girls, not just as egg producers but as pets and have given them names which we felt approriate for hens that are going to enjoy a happy, carefree and hopefully productive life on lower Speyside. So welcome to Cardhu, Aber(lour), Knock(andhu), (glen)Fiddich, Avon, Mortloch, (dallas)Dhu, Spey and (glen)Livet

We opted for a combined coop and run well over the size required and will also be building an attached larger run so that the hens can have lots of space to do hen things.

Hopefully by the beginning of April our guests will be enjoying fresh eggs from Norlaggan's Garden
