😲 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A WHITE STARLING?

We see plenty of memorable things in and around the Loch Shin Pods site.

But, this week, we have seen something that is apparently a 'one-in-30,000' long shot!

There was a spectacular and extremely rare sight flying it's way around the Croft.

A white starling. 😱

It has a complete lack of melanin, causing all feathers to be white and its eyes appear red or pink due to absence of pigment.

This can lead to vision issues for the starling and higher vulnerability in the wild.

But this one is flying high and proud.

Please let us know if you see it if you are coming to stay with us over the next few months.

🤔 'HOW DO THEY STAY COOL WITH ALL OF THAT HAIR?'

We have been asked how our beloved Loch Shin Pods highland cows manage to stay cool in the summer months with all of that shaggy hair?

And believe us, with the thermometer due to top 23 degrees this weekend at Loch Shin, that's a HOT Scottish day! 😄

Despite their thick coats and 80s fringes, Highland cows are surprisingly well-adapted to warm weather.

In spring and early summer, they naturally shed their heavy winter undercoat, leaving a lighter layer that helps them regulate temperature. Their long outer hair actually acts like a sunshade, keeping direct heat off their skin - just like a built-in parasol!

They’re also smart grazers, often seeking out shade under trees, sheltering beside hills, or wading into streams and lochs to cool off.

And of course, the Highlands’ famously fresh breezes help too!

So, if you are visiting us and start to fear that they might be hot... don't worry. They know what they are doing!

⛰ 'AMAZING PODS...BEAUTIFUL SCENERY'

We loved this testimonial because it focuses in on so many of the benefits of staying with us at the Loch Shin Pods.

⛰ Beautiful scenery
😃 Friendly hosts
😴 Relaxing environment
🚗 Base for adventures

We also loved the bit about the pods having 'so much more than you can imagine inside'. It's something we often hear when people come to stay with us.

Like we always say...they are 'glamping' pods not 'camping' pods for a reason!

If you are thinking of coming to stay with us, we look forward to meeting you soon.
