🦫 End of Term Adventures 🦫

The older children went on an adventure last week, they travelled on the West Coast Motors service bus from Lochgilphead and had an action packed day visiting our friends the Heart Of Argyll Wildlife Beaver Centre at Barnluasgan.

Thank you so much to Pete and the team - make sure you go and see them in the holidays as it is a wonderful place!
