A Fairy Tale Castle part 5



September 24-28 Foulis Castle, Evanton, the Scottish Highlands

The flat is built into the castle wall and boasts 2 en suite bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and a drawing room with fire place on the half-landing.  Hilary lives close by in one of the estate cottages.  Foulis has been the seat of Clan Munro for 800 years and there is a connection to Nova Scotia.  Several Munro baronets were awarded NS land in the 18th century.
And a rainbow too!

After we settled in, Hilary took us down the road to The Storehouse, a most amazing restaurant on the Cromarty Firth.  Courgette soup, baked potatoes stuffed with just about anything you could want, and the most enormous meringue I have ever seen, it was the size of small football!
