What's your idea of a perfect day?
How about a stroll round castle grounds, home baking & live music outside followed by an evening of great music & dancing? Put the 19th April in your diary: Foulis Castle's Daffodil Tea followed by a ceilidh dance in North Kessock, all for charity! See you there 😀
