Good Evening from a wet and windy Buckie,

First of all appologies for the delay in writing this Blog! we have simply been so busy that its just not been possible,

So recent updates for August, we were overwhelmed by bookings for Struan and Rosemount, as many people have been turned away as we have been able to cater and accommodate for. We had a private film company stay with us at both Rosemount and Struan for 3 weeks during the filming of " Whisky Galore" yes a remake of the black and white film (in colour), Great people, great fun and several visits from the Director/ Producer and a few more famous faces? infact they loved our food so much we had to fight them off,
Both Struan and Rosemount remain very busy as does the self catering cottage (in the grounds of Struan) The cottage is a fully re-vamped beautiful quaint cottage with private parking and garden, beautifully furnished, with free wifi, comprising of one double bedroom and a double bed settee in the lounge if needed, situated in the centre of Buckie, so you will never be short for supplies or eateries, not to mention our very own Restaurant in Struan where you will find local fresh fish and produce.

Struan Restaurant offers the best Local Seafood, supplied by local Boats and landed in Buckie, we offer fresh Steaks and a variety of many othe local delicacies including venison, infact we have a option for everyone, Vegan, Gluten free and special diets are not a problem, all our meals are freshly prepared from fresh ingredients.

What we dont do!

We dont sell microwave meals!!

Please take a look at our web site http://struan-house.co.uk/  browse our video (from a drone) see for yourself the beautiful location, look for the cottage to the seaward side of Struan!

Looking ahead, we have been asked by so many people regarding Christmas, bookings are coming in thick and fast, so please be quick, menu available by email, please also remember that we will be open right through Christmass for accommodation, last year Rosemount was full throughout the festive week including Christmas day and Boxing day (No rest for the wicked).
