An exclusive group tour of Foulis Castle, the private family home of the Chiefs of the Clan Munro (Monroe) for over 700 years, conducted by Hector Munro of Foulis, 33^rd hereditary Clan Chief of the Munros, his mother Mrs Eleanor Munro of Foulis or a member of the family.

 But its main attraction to most visitors is that it is a real home, not a museum. Outside there are fine courtyard gardens and Highland Cattle grazing in the park. Although not hitherto open to the general public, it has very successfully hosted a number of exclusive groups from cruise ships over the past 5 years.

 
A highlight at the end of the tour will either be afternoon tea, morning coffee and home baking or a glass of champagne/whisky (depending on the time of day) taken with The Chief and or his mother, Mrs Eleanor Munro of Foulis, in the Castle dining room surrounded by portraits of their ancestors. The Chief is a renowned grower of malt barley the essential ingredient of Scotland's famous Malt Whiskies and his mother an expert gardener.

NB. As this is the Clan seat we try to make an exception for individual Clan Munro members & smaller groups of Munros who are especially welcome and can usually be accommodated on giving at least 48 hours notice but to avoid disappointment it is best to write well in advance of your intended visit giving alternative dates. We make no charge for these visits but there is a donations box the proceeds of which go to The Clan Munro (Association) Foulis Castle Restoration & Maintenance Fund (Scottish Charity No. 003688).
