CRAGMHOR is an artist’s home, thoughtfully lived in and cared for, carrying the warmth, character, and the energy of a true country retreat, than a conventional holiday let. It is a soulful place of calm and creativity, where spaces are designed to feel welcoming, authentic, and deeply peaceful, inviting you to slow down, settle in, and feel truly at home.

BALQUHIDDER
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.
