Additional Day Out

Dear Friends

We are delighted to advise you that we have arranged an additional Spring visit on Thurs 9 May to Asknish House: https://canmore.org.uk/site/40059/asknish-house. This is a rare opportunity to visit a private house that was once a Campbell residence. It has been lovingly restored by its current owners over the last few years.

We will meet at Asknish House for 10:30am for a tour of and talk about the house from its current owner.

We will return to Inveraray for lunch at the George (to be pre-ordered).

After lunch our options are weather dependent: if fine, we will tour Inveraray, looking at the newly refurbished pier, houses, churches etc. If the weather is unkind, we will head up to the archives and enjoy a talk (subject tbc).

Places for Asknish House are limited to 20 and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so please email Ann Galliard as soon as possible if you wish to be part of this visit: anngalliard@btinternet.com. The deadline for booking is Weds 1 May.
