First impressions of Newtonmore
So we arrived at Eddie Drysdale's place "shalom" in Newtonmore and (close to immediately) were presented with beers and some broccoli soup. Eddie's place in the highlands is what they call a "cabin" but what many could consider a well appointed home. At about 2500 sq ft, this 4-bedroom (plus attic bedroom) is the perfect getaway from the business …
