Shop Opening Event, 26 April 2008
Very pleased to report on a successful opening of the new shop, lots of local folk there to greet the Staff and Management.
Plenty of free sweeties and balloons and what appeared to be brisk trade.
An excellent start to our new shop which looks very smart and well stocked, welcome to all those working there and we hope it proves to be a great success.

Culloden Wood
From Forestry Commission web-site
This local woodland consists mainly of conifer trees such as Scots Pine, Norway & Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir, of which there are several huge examples here in Culloden Wood. Broadleaved trees are retained throughout the forest during all operations, and Beech, Alder and Birch are planted to enhance the conservation and landscape value of the area. Culloden Forest has been managed and worked by the Forestry Commission since 1926. It was previously owned by the Forbes family from before the time of the Battle of Culloden.
Balloch, Culloden, and Smithton are the nearest towns or villages.
OS Grid Reference: NH 718 456
This wood creates the southern boundary of the village of Culloden near Inverness, and runs through to the village of Balloch. The main access points are from Tower Road in Smithton and near the Forestry College above Balloch. The wood is easily reached on foot from any of the above settlements and buses from Inverness regularly service this area.
The Scottish School of Forestry
The largest organisation in Balloch, and a very good friend of the village is the Scottish School of Forestry, sited in an appropriate forest setting at Viewhill
