Blair Castle
There’s plenty to see at Blair Castle, both inside the Castle and in the lovely gardens and grounds, so you’ll be free to wander and just savour at your own pace.
21 September 2024
Aultbea Arctic Convoy Museum and Poolewe
This excursion has been altered from the original visit planned to Corrieshalloch and Aultbea due to timing limits. Corrieshalloch Gorge will now be visited in 2025. This will allow us to spend time at Aultbea Museum without rushing, and will also allow more time for Corrieshalloch next year. The visit to Poolewe will include afternoon tea at Pool House, which has wartime connections with Aultbea.
