Huntly Castle Tour Guide Launch

11 Comments

This afternoon the launch of the 4th year of Huntly Castle Tour Guides took place at Huntly Castle. A group of p5’s, who will be going up to P6 next session have been training hard at learning how to deliver a tour to groups of school children and other visitors to Huntly Castle. All the p5s have been learning a song from Elizabethan times, helped by Keith Cockburn.

Parents, members of the local community, Lumsden School  and the Huntly Express were all invited.

The new tour guides walked down to the castle, accompanied by the bagpipes, played by Jack McGowan.

The p5s sang a song connected to Huntly Castle, accompanied by Keith Cockburn. Other entertainment included a dance called the Pavanne, based on dances from the 17th century. The tour guides then delivered their first tour.

After that a group of children served refreshments.

The afternoon went very well  and we wish the new tour guides every success!

Thanks you also to the present P6 tour guides who have done a wonderful job of delivering tours this session!

  1. The launch was great!
    It was very different from the tours run by the P6’s now P7’s!
    The refreshments were very tasty and the P5’s who were serving, were very nice and done a great job!
    The tours were very good! Mrs Raeburn has done a great job at teaching the tour guides, as they were all very clear and knew the script well and when they did get stuck they quickly got on with the script again!
    The Pavanne was very good and everyone also thought that as well!
