Crosskeys Cottage is where my father Duncan Ferguson, his father John Ferguson and his father John Ferguson all lived whilst working for Luss estates.  The cottage has been beautifully decorated and modernised making it feel warm and welcoming.  A great base with which to explore and visit this most beautiful part of Scotland.
