Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores comments: “Springfest is shaping up to be a great weekend with lots to see and do.
“We’re delighted to welcome Loch Lomond Whiskies back and our chef’s menus for their demos looking inspiring as well as mouth-watering!
“The introduction of foraging workshops is also great to see as it not only showcases our natural resources here at Loch Lomond Shores, it also offers a taste of foraging for those foodies who would like to use the ultimate local ingredients in their cooking.”
