Art Home in the Mountains

Peaceful Artistic Home in the Heart of Balquhidder Glen

CRAGMHOR is a peaceful and artistic retreat nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Balquhidder Glen. With views of the surrounding mountains and ever-changing skies, it’s a place where you can truly slow down and reconnect with nature. The house is filled with character and creativity, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and dining room to make tea, coffee, or prepare light meals, and to enjoy them in the cosy dining space while soaking in the view or the gentle hum of birdsong just outside the window.

The Braes of Balquhidder are reached via a scenic single-track road off the A84, lying at the northernmost edge of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is steeped in myth, history, and spiritual significance. Four miles west of the village, along the glen, lies the magnificent Loch Voil, near the acclaimed Monachyle Mhor.

Steeped in Celtic mythology, the area was long considered a “thin place”—a realm where the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds is barely perceptible. The glen is home to the ruins of the original Balquhidder Kirk, built in 1631, which contains the grave of the legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, who once roamed these hills. Within the current church, built in 1855, lies the headstone of St. Angus, a 7th-century missionary credited with bringing Christianity to this sacred corner of Scotland.
