Does anyone know of any castles accomodating large groups of 50 persons? We would like to include a castle stay to our trip to England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Noreen, some years ago I clipped some info from the NY Times regarding castle stays in the UK, to include Scotland. Here goes: "Among the organizations that can provide listings of places to stay are%3D British Tourist Authority, 551 Fifth Ave., Suite 701, NY NY 10176 (212)986-2200; Scottish Tourist Board, Thistle House, Beechwood Park North, Inverness IV2 3ED, Scotland (44-1463) 716996; National Trust for Scotland, 5 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh EH@ 4DU, Scotland (44-131) 226 5922, fax (44-131) 243 9302; Landmark Trust, Shottesbrooke, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 3SW, (44-1628) 825925, fax (44-1628) 825417". Hope this helps. Erika

Noreen - last fall I travelled on a Globus tour and one of the highlights was a weekend stay at Ruthin Castle in Ruthin, Wales. I'm sure they could easily accomodate your group size. We all fell in love with the Castle - you should check it out.
