I’m pleased to say that Croick Estate has had the opportunity to support the excellent Heather Trust this year, as part of their annual country market and sporting sale.

The sale includes a Prize Draw, tickets £10 each, with the prize being a week staying at Croick Manse in November this year, with the opportunity for some hind stalking and woodcock shooting. It should be a lovely week. I particularly like the idea of making this a prize draw so that those who might not feel able to bid in an auction for this lot have the potential to win a week’s holiday with sport for only £10. I hope the Heather Trust will be overwhelmed with requests for Prize Draw tickets as their work on Heather restoration and conservation across the UK is absolutely invaluable.

In support of the draw the Heather Trust have produced this very nice postcard watercolour showing the Manse. You can get more details at http://www.auction.heathertrust.co.uk>
