Today’s guest is the gutsy, globe trotting Tamasina Cassidy, who runs the Rowan Tree Hotel and Restaurant with her husband Jonny.
In this episode, she tells us why she downed tools in London – after 9 ski seasons and with 2 kids in tow – and headed for the hills. Specifically the Cairngorm Mountains to take over the Rowan Tree, which is situated just outside Kincraig between here and Aviemore and next to the gorgeous loch Alvie.
It's abundantly apparent that her ability to reframe situations into positives and her tendency to get stuck in have stood her in very good stead.
She talks about why she loves this area so much and how she believes that collaboration could raise the bar for the area even more. She also shares some of her hobbies, and the joy they give her, from beekeeping to table dancing!
Hope you enjoyed meeting Tamasina – do say hello if you see her out and about in Kincraig or, even better, why not drop into the Rowan Tree for a drink or dinner, I can thoroughly recommend !
