BEATING THE LOCKDOWN – CHORLEY GO OVER THE BORDER

On 15th March Chorley President Bill Critchley and his wife, Pauline, led a party of 12 Brothers and wives on a 5-day break over the border, to Scotland. The party travelled by coach to Kingussie, where they spent 4 nights at the ‘Duke of Gordon’ Hotel, used for some of the scenes in the TV serial ‘Monarch of the Glen’.
Trips were arranged to The Highlands Wildlife Park, a journey from Fort William to Mallaig on the West Highland Railway, arguably the most scenic rail journey in the UK, a few hours in Perth, and a guided tour of the ‘Cairn O’mohr’ Fruit Winery, where all enjoyed numerous samples of the produce.
The break was voted by all to have been a resounding success, marred only by the closure of the hotel in accordance with Government instructions shortly after the group left, and the temporary laying-off of the staff.
The group is photographed by the side of the River Tay in Perth.
