Mindful Monday meander through Lauriston Castle Estate brings joy, opportunities and a sense of community. There’s so much going on yet the sense of peace, solitude and comfort can always be found.

Today walking through there were families coming together to remember, celebrate, and share memories. Children learning about how nature and the environment can help them grow. Volunteers catching up, working hard, laying down goals and aspirations. There were professionals at work capturing moments in photography, sharing history of ancient times and inspiring others to discover their vocation.

Share your thoughts on some of these images…What do you see as you explore this magical place? Are there ideas of ways you could share in how to enjoy and capture the magic of Lauriston Castle and its surroundings?

We would love to hear from you with hints and tips. 💞
