WELCOME!

Ceud Mille Failte! - Scottish Gaelic for one hundred thousand welcomes!

Roslin is Scotland's world famous historic village, home of the iconic Rosslyn Chapel, situated just south of Edinburgh.

It's amazing to think that the glorious view above, overlooking Roslin towards the Pentland Hills, is just a short 7miles (11km) from the very centre of Scotland's Capital city of Edinburgh, voted the 4th most beautiful city in the world.

From our house you can enjoy easy access into Edinburgh, Scotland's historic Capital and UNESCO World Heritage city, whilst at the end of the day coming back to the peace and quiet of Scottish village life in Roslin.

We have two grown up children: Emily and Gregor who may occasionally, join us on our home exchanges. We also have a very friendly cat called Harry (8) who would love to stay in the house with you. 

When not working, Ewan enjoys watching rugby union, playing golf and skiing. Laura loves travelling, spending time with family and friends, and animals (especially cats).

We have completed nearly 65 home exchanges across the world since 2003. 

Our Home

Our home is a three bedroomed, detached house, and is situated in the quiet, historic village of Roslin. The house overlooks fields to the nearby Pentland Hills which rise to around 600m (1,800ft).

Most of the house has been refurbished over the past few years to a modern look. Downstairs is a warm, bright, sunny lounge. It has very comfy recliner leather sofas, allowing you to fully relax whilst watching TV or reading a book. The equally sunny dining room has views out to our back garden.

There are also lots of books to read in the lounge and tourist information to give you ideas for how to spend your days. 

(Click on the photos below to see larger images of the some of the rooms in the house.)

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. There are lovely views from the front bedroom windows (view from the master bedroom below) toward the Pentland Hills, where there are many great walks to be had. 

Our bathroom has a whirlpool bath with therapy lights which is great for relaxing in. There's also a stylish shower above the bath with shower screen.

In the back garden we have a BBQ, and also a fire pit which is nice on clear summer evenings/nights to relax by when the stars come out (logs are available at any nearby garage). In the front garden we have a small deck to sit out on sunny evenings.

At the back of the house is a large, grassy area known as "The Poppies", accessed from a lane two houses beyond ours. This increases the feeling of space around the house, privacy in the garden, and lots of room for any visiting kids to kick a ball about or play.

Directly opposite the house we have a nice walk around local fields and through a wood. We're just an eight minute walk from Rosslyn Chapel.

Our car is a Ford B-Max, petrol with manual gears and AC which we can arrange to be available to you if we're swapping cars.
