Australian car couple highlight Culzean Castle’s pulling powers
Although the National Trust for Scotland’s Culzean Castle and Country Park is used to welcoming international guests, even long serving staff at South Ayrshire’s premier tourist attraction were surprised when two recent visitors arrived from Australia - by car.
Although the National Trust for Scotland’s Culzean Castle and Country Park is used to welcoming international guests, even long serving staff at South Ayrshire’s premier tourist attraction were surprised when two recent visitors arrived from Australia - by car.
Elayne and Chris Clash, who live in Victoria in Australia, have been traveling since June 2007. Their road journey to date has included visits to South Korea, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, Turkey and Greece where they spent the winter months. From there they headed North to Norway, Iceland and then to Scotland and Culzean.
Culzean Property Manager Paul Pomfret said:
“While Culzean is clearly a great day out with something for everyone, we were somewhat surprised to hear that this intrepid couple had driven all the way from Australia for a visit.”
The couple, who are raising money for the Epilepsy & Cancer for Kids Foundation, arrived at Culzean during the recent Autoclassica event where their purpose built vehicle became one of the more unusual attractions.
