You are warmly invited to out traditional event of lunch at Delgatie Castle. This is priced at a very reasonable £29.00 per head. 
It is suggested we arrive at 11.30am for a 12.30pm lunch. This gives time to look around the historic rooms in the castle and to see the painted ceilings and other things of interest. 

After lunch, we continue our tradition of visiting Old Slains Castle, where Merlin might be prevailed upon to recount stories of his childhood there.

From there, we move on to New Slains Castle for a Highland Tea - There are many stories that Merlin and Alan will be able to tell you of this place! Again, we need to know numbers for catering for this, so (you've probably guessed already) please use the booking form below.
