Byline: Saturday 27 April Invergordon RNLI and Easter Ross Fundraising Branch held a Daffodil Tea in order to raise funds for the RNLI and aid the saving of lives at sea
Page Content: Daffodils were in plentiful supply as visitors strolled in the grounds of Foulis Castle, which overlooks the Cromarty Firth.
RNLI mascot, Stormy Stan, welcomed guests and joined visitors at the range of stalls and attractions, needing to duck his head entering the marquee and the old stone-floored kitchen in the castle!
Afternoon tea was served in two separate venues within the castle itself, in the old kitchen and in the castle’s splendid dining room. Most notably, Mrs Munro made her snooker table available to display the vast array of home baking for sale.
Attractions in the grounds included a children’s treasure hunt, face painting, a display of birds of prey, sideshow stalls, and a range of craft stalls. During the afternoon, Highland Dog Agility provided a very entertaining dog agility display, and visitors inside the castle and out were entertained by live music from Corralach and the Kiltearn Fiddlers.
Many folk made their way home with bunches of daffodils from the castle lawns, with the full approval of Mrs Munro.
Chairman of the RNLI Easter Ross branch, also full time lifeboat mechanic, Kevin Dent, was delighted that this event gave an enjoyable afternoon to so many visitors and was able to announce later that the event had raised in excess of £3100 for RNLI funds
