Handfast BlessingThe traditional Highland Handfast is held by running water. A couple would swap pieces of cloth, that had some significance to their families, as a symbol of their commitment to each other. Their friends and family then bind their hand together with ribbons which symbolise their emotional bonds - this is the origin of the term 'tying the knot'. A year later the couple return to the same spot to seal their commitment and so be considered married in the sense that we understand it. We can offer a version of this ceremony in the hotel gardens or grounds, as part of a wedding, engagement or anniversary celebration (this is NOT a legal ceremony).
If you are also planning a visit to Ireland the Castle Hotel Group in Dublin City Centre offer comfortable Georgian hotel accommodation.

An early brood of ducklings came….and went. They look so vunerable in their first few days out of the egg, almost like thistledown drifting across the water, and they are with all manner of things ready and waiting to eat them. However other females are still sitting and,with luck, the later broods will make it over these first few days and provide a spectacle on the ponds and lawns this summer.
