    Meet Fynn, My Rough Collie in the Highlands

    Hi Burrowzig, Thanks for the lovely message — it made me smile! 😄 Yes, there’s certainly no shortage of fur with a Rough Collie around… I often joke that I could knit myself a jumper by the end of spring! Fynn’s coat seems to grow back faster than I can brush it. It’s nice to hear there are a...

    Meet Fynn, My Rough Collie in the Highlands

    Thank you, Judy — that’s such a lovely reflection! The way you described Plockton brought a real smile to my face. It’s true — there’s something dreamlike about the place, especially in summer with the wildflowers and the boats bobbing gently in the bay. The little railway station is still...

    Meet Fynn, My Rough Collie in the Highlands

    Hi Flobo, Thank you so much — that means a lot! Fynn will be pleased to hear he’s been called lovely — he’s got the softest heart (and the fluffiest tail).

    Meet Fynn, My Rough Collie in the Highlands

    Hi Joanne, Thank you so much for the kind welcome. That’s amazing to hear your dog Timber is over 15 — what a beautiful bond you must have. Our last dog Blaze passed at just 6 from bowel cancer, and we now have Fynn, a 3-year-old Rough Collie who is the gentlest soul. Plockton does have its...

    Meet Fynn, My Rough Collie in the Highlands

    That’s such a lovely memory — thank you for sharing it. I agree, not many would allow that now! But those early bonds with dogs really stay with us, don’t they? Fynn is very gentle too — sometimes almost too polite! I’ve had Shelties before, but Rough Collies are something else. You’ve got...
