Why Scotland???? Because of the weather!
This is the question that guests have asked us thousands of times since we started our new venture in Scotland in May 1995.
We fell in love with Scotland after first visiting some 20 years ago. It may sound strange, but when we came back here, it felt like we were coming home. Everyone was so friendly and laid back that we just felt very much at home and returned several times after that.
It was Mieke's dream to open a guest house, but Bert didn't take her too seriously at first! He was a PR and advertising manager, and Mieke was working as a secretary. We had a nice house, big car and Bert had his motorbike - our lives in the Netherlands could be described as very comfortable.
