Exchange with this member
A family house in a beautiful village in Scotland.
We live in central Scotland on a hillside overlooking Stirling castle (the original seat of the Kings of Scotland). This area is packed full of history and both Edinburgh and Glasgow are 45 minutes either by train or car. Perth is 30 minutes by train or car. St Andrews is 80 minutes by car.
We have a large family house with three bedrooms three bathrooms. Downstairs there is a large kitchen with breakfast area, utility room, lounge, sunroom with dining area. The house is built on the hillside so there are plenty of steps and wonderful views to the mountains and plenty sunlight in the house and garden.
There is a hillside 9 hole golf course 1km from the house and many other excellent courses to choose from nearby. The University of Stirling is 15 minutes walk from our home. It has a full sports facility and cinema.

It is a Scottish family of 5. The parents are still im my house in Croatia while I write this, and, if I understood right, (grownup) children stayed only for a week and left. House is definitely presented correctly, except that it is much bigger than I expected and the surroundings is amaizing. Inspired by what she saw in Bridge of Allan, where we had stayed, my wife commented that in Scotland, every house was built like a castle. It is a family of intelectuals and music fans and players, and that gives part of the good atmosphere in the house.
Bytet var bra presenterat och allt kändes väldigt trevligt och enkelt att ordna. Perfekt utgångspunkt för de som var våra önskemål att göra: besöka slott...

A beautiful home in Scotland close to Edinburgh
We are a family of 5 with 3 grown up children. Sometimes (not always) one or all of them will come on exchange with us. Julie is a University Lecturer and Paul is a Scientist. We love travel and visiting other countries to learn about the culture and way of life. We have found INTERVAC is a wonderful way to meet families and make friends in other countries and we love sharing our home in this way.
We enjoy mountain, river and lake activities (swimming, canoeing, boating) and cycling, hill-walking, music, singing, concerts, reading, writing.
We joined INTERVAC in 2007 and had a number of wonderful exchanges until 2018. We then had a break from INTERVAC until now. Here we are now in 2026 getting started again and looking forward to exchanging homes again.
