Cuillin Goes Walkies! 🐾

Also, this summer holiday, keep your eyes peeled as Cuillin the cuddly toy dog heads off on a surprise adventure around the grounds of The Inverness Castle Experience.

Cuillin could go for walkies on any day. On the day he sets off, we'll share a special clue on our social media to help explorers track him down.

If you're visiting and taking part in Cuillin's Garden Trail, follow the clue, see if you can find Cuillin and, if you're the lucky person to spot him first, you'll get to take him home!

Pick up your trail, explore the castle grounds and join the hunt for Cuillin this summer.
