Visited it last year – was one of the highlights of my trip to the UK.

I will never forget July last year when I came to your beautiful castle. I am too ill now to do it. Probably the fondest memory of my entire life and I have travelled the world. Thank you 🙏

I want to visit one day as my great aunt and cousin did years ago!

I want to visit this place so bad

My mum just showed me this. Have you ever seen one before?

Well that's the tent taken down. Many many thanks to Beinn, grandson of Lady Eve over here from Tasmania, who helped erect and dismantle the tent. Once everything was packed in the car, poor Hector ended being slightly cramped, but took it on the chin. 🤣🤣
