A very warm welcome to the Ballachulish Hotel.
“ ….let the dance begin, lock away the fine china and kick up the old stone floor.
Where the train divides upon Lomondside, Hear the echo from forest to shore.
Sailing over deep water and dancing on air; If you close your eyes you will be there.
Do you dream of a journey taking you back home, where the Cry from the Heart of the Highlands lives on? … “
