Clootie Well
Our last stop of the day time permitting will be a 30-minute visit to the Clootie Well in Munlochy, described as one of the strangest places in Scotland, this deeply fascinating location is said to provide healing to those with sickness or ailments. If you wish we can hold a small ceremony and leave a 'cloot' offering. The origins of this tradition are thought to be from our Pagan ancestors. If bringing your own 'cloot' (piece of fabric or cloth belonging to you) please ensure that this is either pure wool or pure cotton as these are the best for the environment. We need to ensure that your fabric is biodegradable as this is an important part of how the clootie well performs its magic. As the Cloot rots away they say that the illness starts to depart from those who are unwell.
Cawdor Castle
We then head to the enchanting and historic Cawdor Castle to tour the castle and interiors, this stop gives a fascinating insight into how a Scottish Laird would have lived through the centuries.
