Doesn't mum make a great chin rest?

Here is the gorgeous Winnie with her wee calf, born in May this year! Generally reindeer aren't cuddly or tactile with each other with the exception of mothers and calves who are often lying together or grooming each other! 😍

Our calves are now all over a month old and out free-ranging on the hills for the summer.

Here are two of them keeping cool on the high tops during the recent heatwave. 😎

🎻 Monday Night is Folk Night at The Suie Bar 🎶

Every Monday from 7:30pm until late, the back corner of The Suie quietly turns into something special.

Most weeks, it’s a relaxed gathering of a handful of talented local musicians - fiddles tuning up, guitars being passed around, voices joining in, tunes flowing easily between chats and laughter. It’s laid back. It’s informal. It’s exactly how a village pub session should feel.

And sometimes… it grows.

One unforgettable night, 17 fiddlers turned up as part of a music retreat happening in the village. The sound was incredible - bows flying, feet tapping, the whole pub lifted by it.

Over the years we’ve welcomed:
🎻 Fiddles
🎸 Guitars
🪗 Accordions
🪈 Whistles & flutes
🥁 Bodhráns
🎹 Piano
🪕 Banjos
🎶 Mandolins
🎤 Singers
🎵 Pipes
🎼 Harp
🎙 Even the occasional beatbox

If you play - bring your instrument.
If you sing - bring your voice.
If you just love listening - bring yourself.

There’s no stage, no set list, no pressure. Just good music, good company and the kind of atmosphere that reminds you why pubs like The Suie matter.

📍 Every Monday
🕢 From 7:30pm until late
🍺 All welcome - musicians and music lovers alike

The Suie Bar - good folk, good tunes, good times.
