About Graham
Grade 1 bagpiper Jonathan Graham has played since the age of 10, his raw talent gaining him numerous awards as a solo piper. He developed an interest in bagpipes from an early age through hearing his Grandfather play on a regular basis. Jonathan is a piping tutor and has many students in Glasgow, as well as foreign students in Holland, France, Germany and the US which he teaches via Skype. He is a former tutor at the world-renowned National Piping Centre and held the post of Evening Class Coordinator there.

Intrepid:Scotland
bushcraft * camping adventures * guided walking * barefoot walking * wild foraging * bike safaries * flyfishing * bushcraft birthday parties * bespoke days out
These guys offer a fantastic opportunity for children and adults to connect with nature. Usually the activities are based within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, but as the name suggests, the Intrepid team will travel anywhere to deliver a bespoke experience.
We can travel to the North West Highlands, the Cairngorms & Central Highlands, Knoydart and the West Highlands. If you have an ‘experience’ in mind; walking, biking, fly fishing or a special Birthday party and Camping Experience, get in touch and we will do our very best to accommodate.
Outdoor Education
Tim and intrepid:scotland have led thousands of children and adults on a huge variety of outdoor learning experiences:
- Bear hunts, barefoot walks (in March) and marshmallow toasting for nursery and P1 & 2’s
- Island exploration on Inchcailloch covering navigation, tree measuring, plant and wildlife surveys for P1 to 7
- An examination of ancient firelighting, water purifying and survival techniques, inspired by Kensuke’s Kingdom for P6 and 7
- John Muir Award Schemes – delivery from start to finish across all age ranges and for all abilities
- Delivery of Nat 4/5 Geography and Biology field studies
Wild Foraging
Cycle Safaris
It’s a lot of fun to jump on your mountain bike and head off to the trails that abound in the area around Loch Lomond & the Trossachs, Aberfoyle and Callander, as well as enjoying the smoother ride afforded by the Sustrans route 7 that runs north via Lochearnhead & Strathyre. However, as we pedal along, it is easy to miss so much. Intrepid:Scotland can take your family biking experience to another level:
Look out for our Cycle Safari Events listed on Facebook. They typically run from Easter through the summer holiday. Based around Aberfoyle and Callander, suitable for individuals and families with kids as young as seven, they are themed on natural navigation, bushcraft, foraging and wildlife spotting. Our Cycle Safaris run for around 2hrs at £15 per person.
We can run Cycle Safari just for you. For individuals, families, groups, companies. We can arrange for bike hire at cost too, through one of our local providers. The ride can be as gentle or mental as you like! Sessions can be for part days, full days or multi-days.
Walking, Campfire Cooking & Fishing
Combine some walking (there are many Intrepid walking options) with foraging, fishing and a campfire, and you have a campfire cooking party. Tim is a masterchef around the campfire (poetic license allowed), and can rustle up some tasty dishes (stirfry, veg pittas and even open fire pizzas), all the while incorporating intrepid bushcraft skills. For those wanting to stick to something more rustic, Tim can show you how to make bread on a stick, bannocks, nettle broth. Great for the kids.
Bushcraft Birthday Parties
The evergreen bushcraft party has to be THE best birthday experience you can gift to boys & girls over the age of 5. The kids just love this. This really is a wonderful encounter with nature; with the kids finding the camping spot, making shelters, sorting kindling and making a spark to start their own fire. Baking bread and toasting marshallows over their own fire is exciting and gives such a strong sense of personal achievement. Barefoot walking and some slacklining might add to the experience. Oh, and cake too.

Coffee & Cakes
Did we mention cake? We do cake. All of it freshly made (nothing ‘bought in’ here). We have the usual favourites, plus some more unusual (and popular ones) such as Caramac Fancies. 
Bistro Nights
Bistro nights are our ‘gourmet’ experience at Macmillans, and usually occur on a Thursday evening. BYOB, and enjoy a fantastic culinary experience as David gets to really show off his skills in the kitchen. The two or three course set menu has great choices, and is a perfect excuse to book a table with friends and have a lovely night away from the kids.
There is a small corkage charge, and a great atmosphere in the bistro. The conservatory is festooned with fairy lights, and with a relaxed vibe, it’s well suited to a romantic night for two, or to cater to a more buzzy table of old friends.
Booking is essential, and tables go very quickly. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for the next Bistro Night.
Dave’s Diner
Useful Information
The view of the mountains is amazing. Lovely friendly staff and the food. I have had the breakfast (only just managed to eat it all, but I had to it was so nice.) The burgers on Dave’s Diner are filling and are not fast food, a proper butcher style burger, plenty of meat. Bistro night was special and the food absolutely stunning. If you are in the area you have to visit. I would strongly recommend Dave’s diner and the bistro nights for that something a little more special.
P Smith
Well what can I say? A diamond find. My kids, hubby and I had lunch here yesterday and back for breakfast today, faultless. Totally recommend the Goats cheese, beetroot, rocket and onion toastie � A great selection of delicious homemade cakes also, I even spied Gluten free too! Fresh coffee and a stunning view, what else can you ask for. Next time we will definitely be booking into one of the special Bistro nights. Nicola at front of house was so welcoming, friendly and professional, what a wee star �. Cannot wait to return.
L Sykes
Just had brunch and it just hit the spot. Always well worth the journey from Alloa. Staff friendly and great food with a view as well as a well stocked Garden Centre next door.
Richard Cameron
This is an undiscovered gem. A relaxed bistro feel, with locally sourced ingredients and all dishes made from scratch. Very reasonably priced too. Smoked salmon was the best. Great venue for a day out from the city, to meet friends for coffee or lunch. It’s my favourite meeting place, and the views from the conservatory restaurant are fantastic. Yet to try Dave’s Diner on a Friday night, but hear great things.
E McQ
We’ve eaten here many time since the Macmillan take over and the food and service is consistently excellent. Can’t wait for the next Gourmet/Bistro Night!
