Spring Outing to Castles a Great Success!
Members of the Association spent a splendid weekend based at South Queensferry to view the castles of the Forth valley. This was our first outing of the year and with the castles of Wales and Dumfries to follow good times lie ahead.
Some of the castles are pictured below - a full account of the visits will appear in the Association's Journal.
Many thanks to all who attended.
