It was time to go back to the castle.

I think I could wake up to this view each morning and be very pleased.

After the tour of Duntrune, our group went to St. Columba’s Chapel. There was a service that centered on our name sake St. Columba by the Vicar of the Church. We then had our Annual General Meeting.

I am so glad that Chris suggested touring this lovely church before the AGM. There was a huge thunderstorm that broke as we finished the meeting. It was also time to head for the Clan Dinner at Ardifuir. I notice a few of my kinsman did a quick 5 minute tour of the inside of the church.

Ardifuir is a lodge operated by Andy Malcolm, Chief Robin’s son. He is a gracious host, excellent chef and outstanding musician.

Hello Mael Coluim, stunning pictures, glad you enjoyed your visit to Scotland and France.

Ohhh...Ohoho... every time I see lochs and views like this,

I want a nice 32 foot motorsailor, with a rowing faering on the cabintop. I want a month or six weeks with no schedule, and it can rain a lot, I don't care.

We began our tour on the upper floor of Duntrune Castle, everyone was excited to see the home of the Chief and the longest inhabited castle in Scotland




I was rather intrigued by the views from the window. I hope you will be, too.

I was rather intrigued by this lamp.




This hobby horse was from a time of life not seen for awhile at the castle.

I believe this lady is the driving force for the building of Poltalloch House.
