The Spittal of Glenshee and Dalmunzie Castle in Scotland
Come with me thru the Spittal of Glenshee
where the glen is green
and the land reaches out to the sky.
I will take you to a place
where you will be reminded
of the virtues of a life well lived.
This is a place that will tweak your
culinary curiosity.
You will be fed the most delicious dinner
and wake up thinking about it the next day
and most likely thru the rest of the day
until the next meal is served.
Your first impressions will be challenged.
A Castle? A Lodge? A Hotel?
All of the above?
No matter.
The questions will subside as you embark on your first
walk thru the Highlands and wander back
to what will soon become your favourite
spot to sit and rest.
Afternoon tea will be served..or as in my case
a beer...whatever your passion after a long stretch.
It will be waiting for you and served by staff with bright smiles
and cheerful dispositions....all Aussie.
Yes, Aussies, as this is a Castle in Scotland
owned and staffed by Aussies.
Surprise...Surprise
We left happier for the experience.
We ate, we walked, we explored,
we laughed, we dreamed, we relaxed...
in Scotland at Dalmunzie Castle.
An experience to remember.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the little getaway!
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have got another place to visit when we go to Scotland the next time. I am afraid that two weeks will nog be enough ;-). What lovely places you visit, thank you for sharing it all! Enjoy your week, Sandra
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious weather you had. No midges?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you mentioned the delicious food. We always have marvelous meals in Scotland. Not a fried Mars Bar to be seen!
Thanks one and all for your comments!
ReplyDeleteHappy to report...no midges although we were prepared!
I heard about the famous fried Mars Bars but lucky for us, they were not on the menu!
:)
lovely Jeanne... simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteJeanne even the virtual walk you took us on has brightened my day. The pictures are beautiful. I know where I'd like to book my next break. Thank you for such a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot. The fields are so green and lush. The castle looks fabulous, I would love to explore it all one day. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place. And what a hoot staffed and owned by Aussies.

That place looks wonderful.

Those Aussies! Struth mate. It looks a ripper of place. Did you know that Australia currently has six banknotes in circulation. Apart from the Queen, The Reserve Bank of Australia has chosen to celebrate ten people on these notes. Of these, one was born in Scotland, three are from Scots Australian families, one was probably married to a Scots Australian, two were educated in establishments founded by Scots Australians and one was a Presbyterian minister with close links to the Church of Scotland.
