Two parties of walkers stayed at Parkburn. Marion, Gladys and Bobbie ( from Kirkwall) were here at the same time as Lothar and Hans from Germany. The walk from Ballindalloch has been quite long and tiring for many walkers.The finishing leg to Aviemore has been more pleasant and enjoyable.

On 27th September 2009 volunteers planted a section of cleared ground in Kylintra Park with daffodils as a Remembrance Garden.
Now the daffodils have bloomed and they have made a magnificent show which will be admired for many years to come.

Miss Chan Fung Po and Mr Yiu Ping Man from Hong Kong had been attending a conference in Wales and are taking the opportunity of touring Scotland. They already had visited England at various times and were now spending a few days in Speyside.

This year we have had many cyclists staying at Parkburn. We have a large garage for overnight secure storage of cycles and I am willing to do laundry at an agreed price.
Karen Bennett from West Sussex was cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats for Maccmillan Cancer Charity.This is a gruesome challenge especially with the fickle Scottish landscape and even more fickle Scottish weather.
Steve Townsley from Cumbria was out to enjoy the rigors of cycling the Scottish countryside.He has a lot of experience of long distance cycling.I hope he returns to Parkburn on one of his future cycle runs.Look out for his blue tail!!

Yen Yen and Joseph Ang from Singapore stayed at Parkburn while visiting the Highlands of Scotland. They had been studying in London a few years ago and were returning to see some more of Scotland.
