Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother first saw what was then Barrogill Castle on the North coast of Caithness, in 1952. Falling for its isolated charm and hearing it was to be abandoned, she decided to save it. The castle was then renovated and restored and the beautiful gardens you see today were created. On this 3 day tour, staying at the Royal Hotel in Thurso we will take in some wonderful scenery including the ‘Million Dollar Viewpoint’ as well as visiting the Falls of Shin.
Price includes: Morning Coffee, Afternoon Tea on return, 2 nights dinner, bed & breakfast, entrance to Castle of Mey and Gardens & insurance. |
