SNAPSHOT
TOUR OF CROSSWOODHILL
Hoping to visit Scotland?
Join us on a fun farm tour of Crosswoodhill via a mosaic of images….. |

First,
whilst you wait for the pictures to download, can I introduce you to your
would-be hosts... |

Hew, the Farmer, a
true Scot, born and bred at Crosswoodhill. His family, the Hamiltons, have
farmed here for generations on the Pentland Hills.
Me, “G”, a nurse by profession,
and a Scot by adoption. Despite living in Scotland now for over 30 years
I have been unable to lose my English accent! Wedded to both Hew and the
farm and no longer able to travel the world, the world now comes to us
at Crosswoodhill and we have welcomed guests from every corner of the globe
to our quality self catering accommodation near Edinburgh. |

Ready
to go? Here’s an overview of Crosswoodhill Farmhouse (entirely
separate from our 2 detached properties, Midcrosswood and Steading
Cottage, which are only tantalisingly glimpsed on this Snap Tour
Page.
The Wing is in the middle section . Orlege End is at the far end
of the farmhouse, obscured in this photo by the maple tree . Its roof
profile has altered since this photo was taken . To the far left of
the photo is the car parking area close to the open shed.) |

The entry door to the
Self-Catering Wing of Crosswoodhill Farmhouse accommodation is via the rear
garden, close to where the more sharp-eyed of you will detect a washing line
post which appears to emerge from a chimney! Don’t worry, it’s
an optical illusion! Though it may look as if the lines are strung between
chimneys, the posts are firmly rooted in the ground …we don’t
expect guests to climb nimbly up to the roof to hang out their washing! |

....or stay
"at home" . These guests went one better and chose to get married
up at Midcrosswood. Invited along for the ceremony were the immediate family,
the Minister, a harpist and a piper. |
