Several years ago, my cousin from Sacramento and I went over to Balfour Castle for "tea".  It was a package deal (ferry and tea - one price).  It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed strolling around the extensive and very lovely gardens with a forest of trees in the back.  We were also given a tour of the castle.  Their coat of arms has an otter in it.  It was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.   Peggy (rainy here in WV today)
