Imagine spending Valentine's Day with your loved one in front of a log-burning stove with nothing to disturb you for miles around apart from spectacularly beautiful scenery. Add to that superb dining and accommodation and you have the most special of occasions. Treat your partner to something truly memorable this February 14th with three nights for the price of two in one of our three wonderful lodges, the Alladale Lodge, Eagle's Crag, or Ghillie's Rest.
The price is a mind-blowing treat too - in Ghillie's Rest guests can stay for as little as £70pp per night, based upon four sharing. And if you're not in the mood for romance, don't worry - this offer runs right through to the end of March, so why not find another reason to celebrate? Burns Night with friends, Mother's Day - the choice is yours!
Call Georgia on +44 (0)1863 755 338 or visit the website, www.alladale.com, for more details. |

| All of us here at Alladale are very proud to have made an appearance in the 2010 Tatler Travel Guide as one of the 101 best destinations in the world. Some of Alladale's highlights, according to Tatler, are Eagle's Crag and Ghillie's Rest: "The interiors are as smart as soldier's boots: sandstone floors, wood-burning stoves and antler chandeliers ... this is a Highland fling with privacy and flair." Why not have a fling of your own and take advantage of our Valentine's offer - three nights for the price of two until the end of March? Call Georgia on +44 (0)1863 755 338 or visit the website, www.alladale.com, for more details. |

| At the far end of Glen Alladale's Special Area of Conservation, work has begun on planting 250,000 native trees over the next two years. The beautiful Caledonian pine wood that exists at present is one of the most northern remnants remaining in Britain. However, these old trees have low reproductive potential and therefore a more fertile local seed source will be used to enlarge the important ancient woods, thus helping to restore the area to its former natural glory. For further information on our reforestation and restoration programme, please email Hugh Fullerton-Smith. |

Emergency In Haiti
At Alladale we're usually concerned with the conservation and restoration of the natural world, but a human disaster such as the recent earthquake in Haiti demands urgent attention from us all. We would like to encourage our readers to donate whatever they can to our friends at Project Medishare for Haiti, a long-established charity that's on the ground in Port-au-Prince now providing medical relief. It is not currently possible to donate directly through Project Medishare's website, but you can donate to the Global Institue, the area from which Project Medishare's relief is co-ordinated, by clicking the following link. All monies will go directly to Haiti's relief.
