Glamis Castle ** and this week's walk update **

Friday 14^th May.  This week we headed to Glamis Castle to walk round the estate and the village. It was sunny and quite warm, a lovely spring day.

After coffee in the castle kitchen we headed off to meander round the grounds. The Walled Garden, the Pinetum and the Pet Cemetery were all stops on our route. The Italian Garden was a delight with spring flowers.

 

We headed down the Nature Trail by the side of the Glamis Burn and up steps by St Fergus Well to reach the village.  

Our next stop was lunch at the Strathmore Arms. The soup was delicious.  

We walked on though the village and down the long drive with the splendid view of the castle and back to the cars.  

                                                    

It was a relaxing day enjoying the weather, the fresh air and company, walking through the estate and village.

**UPDATE** for this week's walk;
The walk this Friday is to Glenfernate.  We will leave the village shop at 9.45am and drive the relatively short distance to the estate and hopefully start the walk at 10.  Plan is to walk for 2 hours round trip and back to the village for lunch/coffee.  It was suggested that we try either the Kirkie or Strathardle this time.  - Jeanette
