The Ochil Hills
The view down the glen from the path across the street.
View from path across the street
Another view down and over the village of Dollar. If you look into the distance over the village you can see the beautiful and ancient Castle Campbell where Mary Queen of Scotts stayed for a while in the 1500s.
Castle Campbell
A closer picture of the castle seen in the distance from the last picture. From here there are stunning walks over the hills to beautiful villages where you can have traditional ales and food.
Stirling Castle
Stirling is the closest town (about a 15 minute drive). Wonderful history and things to do and see.
Edinburgh
Scotland's capital city needs no further introduction. But remember if you are here during the summer months, the Edinburgh Festivals still remains the largest arts festival in the world and growing. Go on, surf it!
Elian Donnan Castle
A sight for sore eyes. A day trip away, but the West Coast of Scotland is world known for its scenery.

The Home
(Note we are booked up for Summer and Winter 2009 - looking to book for 2010!)

Built in the mid 1800s, Dollarbeg Lodge is a stunning Scottish country house. Our house was originally the gate house of the Dollarbeg Castle and Estate, still located at the top of the private drive. It is set in its own grounds with large garden and driveway and the accommodation was extended only a few years ago. Under the trees is a decked area with a hot tub. The house is centrally heated, has high speed wireless, as well as the usual toys! (Wii, LCD TVs, Satellite Television and a Sonos multiroom music system). The lounge has a working coal/log fire for those cozy evenings in. The house sleeps 8 comfortably in 4 separate bedrooms and a separate family room which has a pull out sofa bed.
HOME TYPE:
Single Family        
The Neighborhood
(Note we are booked up for Summer and Winter 2009 - looking to book for Summer 2010!)

This is where words fail me! The house is located in the country surrounded by trees and hills with no neighbours nearby and surrounded by beautiful walks and outdoor pursuits. Minutes from the beautiful and ancient village of Dollar and about 15 minutes from the centre of Stirling. Its central location makes it perfect to get to see everything Scotland has to offer; cities, the lochs, the hills, golf, castles and whisky to name but a few! Edinburgh is about a 40min drive as is Glasgow, Perth and St. Andrews. Scotland is the place to come to, especially in 2009. Copy this link to your browser to watch the HomeComing clip:

(Note we are booked up for 2009 looking for suggestions for 2010)

Our names are Peter and Vicki and are a family of four including 2 children (Boy – 8 and Girl - 6). I am Scottish and Vicki is American. We have done a few house swaps now and really enjoy seeing places through others eyes. We feel very fortunate to own this very special home and would be glad that other families may get to enjoy it while we are enjoying theirs. Both our kids are very tidy and well used to living in a house with fine furniture and a very “house proud” Vicki (she wouldnt mind me saying that!). We are both professionals working for Dell and work from home though do travel a lot with work. So a holiday that doesn't include a hotel would be wonderful. With Vicki being American I am well used to visitors coming from overseas and love the opportunity to create interesting itineraries to suit anyones needs!
