Love the website. love the village, but how about a better rate on the golf course for us poorer people!!

Great website!

Hi Boat of Garten
We stayed in our caravan and went to the hogamany ceilidh, had a really good time. Facilities and 'space' in the new hall certainly beat the old village hall !
A great time was had by all.

Should be back next year, thanks fir a great time.

Just like to congratulate Chris Carter and all the other speakers for the very successful series of Illustrated Talks this year. Each one so far has its own merits and they have all been most entertaining with subjects ranging from Calcutta by bicycle to Canoeing in Canada - brilliant!

Just had another lovely week up here, even though the weather was mixed we spent most of the time outside enjoying your lovely village and surrounding area. Played golf and tennis, walked and cycled in the woods, fly-fished (unsuccessfully, I'm afraid) on the Spey, admired your lovely community garden and the new hall. A great place for a holiday and full of friendly people! Hope to be back next year.

Well 30 years ago since i came to the Boat first. Used to work in the Boat Hotel, was there for 4 years. Have some very good memories of the village.... oh if the walls of Craigard could talk !!!!!

Glad to see your guest book is up and running again. Hullo to anyone who remembers me.... am sure i wont have been forgotten in a hurry :-) Still keep in touch with a couple of folk from all those years ago but if anyone wants to drop me a line.... e mail address supplied

Up date on me is now i am sensible and am a boring paper clip bender ( admin civil service ) ... oh how i wish i was 18 again and having midnight parties down at the river or dare i say it lock in's in Craigard ..... am sure you all remember them hehe

Anyway good luck with the web site, looks fantastic..... and Susie ( Rogers ) if you read this would be great to hear from you ! Freddie has my address and phone number.

I intend to visit Boat of Garden twice, this summer 2008. Your website is excellent and it has given me the information I need, to enjoy my short visits, to your village.
For a small village your site , is far superior to most , if not all, the othe villages, towns and even cities, in Scotland.
Keep up the good work.
Yours Sincerely, Brian

I attended my first illustrated talk last Monday and have to say that I was amazed by John Bruce’s journey from Billercay to Kathmandu in a Ford transit! It was great to see moving pictures of the journey which certainly gave a sense of the fashion, cars and buildings of the 70s. it was good to see and will encourage me to come and see more of the talks next Winter! :)

It might make for some good scuba diving though!! We may be hiding our own Nessie! :wink:

Hi and thanks for the recent comments everyone. Glad that those who came up for Hogmanay had a good time - don’t forget that now’s a good time to come and visit, hopefully we’ll be getting some more snow soon so if you’re thinking of heading up to Cairngorm, why not come and stay with us?

Carissa, glad to see you’re still visiting the site - and again thanks for the comments. I don’t think Loch Garten’s quite deep enough for submarine testing ;)
