We’re always keen to try different things at Armadale – and this Saturday saw our first ever international bridge event! In the convivial surroundings of Gasta at Armadale Castle, 22 bridge players from Kyle of Lochalsh Bridge Club gave an enthusiastic welcome to 22 bridge players from the USA who played an 18 round duplicate tournament. Kyle of Lochalsh Bridge Club only started last September and now meets on Thursday evenings and Monday afternoons throughout the year. New players are welcome.

A wee reminder that we're running another of our very popular family fun sessions in the Museum tomorrow, 10.30 - 12.00. Join us for crafts, stories, songs and more.
Comment from last week's session: ‘Thanks very much for the brilliant selection of craft activities, story and singalong today. Great way to spend a rainy morning, and the sun came out in time for us to enjoy the children’s playground afterwards!'

See you tomorrow (though we hope it won't rain!) and every Thursday until the end of the month. https://www.armadalecastle.com/events/family-holiday-activities/

We're starting to plan our 2019 events programme - what would you like to see happening here? Comment or message us your thoughts. It's also a good excuse to share a few more photos from our recent re-enactment event with Renaissance Scots Living History. Would you like to see more events like this? (With thanks to Simon Larson Photography for the great photos.)

Due to popular demand ... we're very pleased to be extending our season. Thanks Sleat, perfectly Skye for spreading the word.
