| Finglen House, home to Sabrina and Douglas Campbell and their family for the past eighteen years, nestles at the foot of the spectacular Campsie Hills just 30 minutes to the north of Glasgow. Finglen enjoys an idyllic setting bordered on one side by the Fin Burn, home to herons, dippers. grey wagtail and mallard, and on the other by mature woodland. The beautiful three acre garden gives a feeling of complete seclusion, rare for a property so close to Glasgow. Finglen provides an excellent base for expeditions to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling or for exploring and experiencing the sublime beauty of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Douglas works as a documentary cameraman and has travelled extensively in Scotland and is happy to give advice on expeditions further afield. |
