P4b were taken on an exciting tour of Huntly

Castle last week.

The Junior Tour Guides led them down to the castle and told them about the history of the castle, how the different rooms were used and about life in the castle 700 years ago.

Primary 4 admired the beautiful frontispiece on the doorway of the castle, and learnt why some of it is missing. They were told what a mason’s mark is and saw one on the doorway.

Next they saw the dungeons and were told about the poor prisoners who were thrown in them.

After that they visited the kitchen and then the great hall. They P4s enjoyed playing a game called “Cooks Coming”.

After their tour the P4’s had to say one thing they had learnt on their tour.

The tour guides did an excellent job of showing the class around the castle. Thank you !
