A quarter of a century in Glencoe

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun! Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the Daynes family moving to Glencoe and taking over the reins at Clachaig Inn.

Much has changed over the years. But there again, there's a lot more that hasn't. Back in May 1984, when Duran Duran were Top of the Pops with The Reflex and I had a really bad haircut, Clachaig was a much quieter place. Just 9 bedrooms, a couple of full time staff and a 10 week season.

Fast forward 25 years and we're still here, though its brothers Ed & Guy that now run things, while mum and dad, Peter & Eileen still have an active interest in the Carefree Self Catering Holidays brand. Clachaig now employs over 35 staff for most of the year, and is the administrative centre for over 50 when The Grog & Gruel in Fort William is taken into account.

So it looks like there's an opportunity to find some embarrassing photos of us 25 years ago. Keep an eye on the blog and we'll see what we can find. And if you've got some photos of the last 25 years at Clachaig then we'd love to see them.

Here's to the half century!
