Just a wee note to say that the Castle and tearoom will be closed on Friday , 12th June, until 1p.m. The girls and I are going down to support the North Scotland Garden Show in the Den at Turriff. I hope many people will visit as it is an inspration for gardeners and non-gardening people alike to see what we have in our local area. I am looking forward to getting some new plants for the area around the ponds we are working on at the moment.

Today is a quieter day !! We are open until 4p.m. so look forward to welcoming you all.

Rather breezy here today but warm enough - we are open and ready to welcome everyone. Carrie has made red pepper and tomato soup today and Katie has done the Cullen Skink - everyone would be so disappointed if we did not have it on the menu too.

Dont know what has happened to the sunshine today but there is always a warm welcome here at the Castle. We are open and already have visitors which is lovely. Today we have our delicious cold fish platter and a mediterranean platter on the menu - both lovely - but then I am biased !! Scones are just out of the oven.

Good Morning everyone- the start of another busy day here in the Castle Kitchen. Will be getting the scones in the oven shortly, soup is on, and we will be ready to welcome everyone. Did you know that we have some of the finest painted ceilings here at Delgatie Castle dating 1592 and 1597. They were painted to record historic events, the people who lived in the Castle and adorned with sayings of the time - "my hope is in ye Lord" for example. The Castle and the tearoom is open every day 10a.m. to 4p.m.
