Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

The native wild primroses are in full bloom in the South Loch Ness area and there is a colourful profusion growing on shady banks, along roadside verges along with numerous clumps carpeting the floors of deciduous woodlands. The indigenous gorse is also in flower. In the garden the daffodils are swaying in the breeze and the purple aubretia and primulas planted last year are emerging in the spring sunshine. Everywhere seems to be a riot of yellow and purple flowers.
