About

Dan and Rohaise Rose-Bristow run The Torridon on the beautiful, rugged west coast of Scotland. A combination of luxury hotel, gourmet restaurant, cosy Highland inn, smart self catering accommodation and Highland adventure activity centre, The Torridon has everything you could want from a Scottish holiday.

However this blog is not the official hotel website or the place to choose your room. That happens over at www.thetorridon.com

Instead this is is where we keep in touch with loyal guests and friends who have stayed with us over the years as well as a place where we can make new friends online and share this fantastic part of Scotland.

Who’s here?

We have a cast of stellar bloggers – though the words mostly come from Dan, when he remembers.  Meet the crew:

Dan: leader of the pack. Glad to be a hotelier and out of the banking game. Loves nothing better than tending to his guests whether taking them for clay shooting or helping them choose a wine. Can be seen on his quad. A lot.

Rohaise: yummy mummy of three and a successful hotelier with a great eye for design and quality and the real brains behind the job.

Kevin:  experienced chef with great passion for food. Kevin loves nothing better than visiting the local estate to collect his recently shot venison or going to talk to our chickens for menu inspiration. A dedicated family man who loves to cook.

Robert: worked in top Scottish hotels for many years, including Cromlix and Skibo Catle. Robert is a big Kylie fan and has been known to fly to Australia twice in one year to see her.

Les; dedicated gardener who has done everything. Loves photography and writing and is an amateur song writer. You can smell him coming a mile away as he is fanatical about manure. In the garden of course.

Neil: knits together blog, Twitter and Flickr with the clumsy enthusiasm of a puppy with a ball of wool. This is all his fault and he will suffer for it.

Steve: gets an honorary mention for kindly letting us use some of his photographs here. He is a good friend who lives near by and a fantastic photographer. There are more photos as well as a fascinating account of how he built his house on his website.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We welcome comments on the blog and will be glad to answer any question about Torridon.
