We’re delighted to be starting something new at Castle Roy…
Our Drop-In Car Boot Sales will be run by a volunteer, and we’re really hoping they become a regular feature in the Nethy Bridge calendar.
đź—“ First one: Sunday 3rd May
(then the first Sunday of each month through to September)
It also falls on the same day as the Nethy Bridge Spring Gathering on the football field, so you can make a proper day of it and visit both.
Sellers from 10am | Buyers from 11am
📍 Just one mile north of Nethy Bridge (What3Words: dolphins.goose.pocket)
Come along, have a browse, and support something we hope will grow into a lovely community event.

Castle Roy has stood for centuries, and it’s only still here because people continue to care for it.
Thank you for being part of that story đź’›

Wow! And it grows! An update to all of you amazing people, we have raised ÂŁ1,215, which is an unbelievable help. You have no idea what a wonderful bonus this is.

Help us look after Castle Roy 🏰
If you’ve ever wandered through Castle Roy, taken a photo, or simply enjoyed knowing it’s there — this is your chance to help protect it for the future.
We’re raising funds for an essential structural wall inspection, required as part of our agreement to keep the castle safe and open. It’s not glamorous work (no bunting or weddings involved), but it’s absolutely vital.
A huge thank you to one of our brilliant volunteers who has already been hard at work clearing trees and shrubs around the site to prepare for the inspection — a massive job that’s made a real difference 🌿
As always, Castle Roy is free to visit and relies entirely on donations and community support. Every contribution, big or small, helps us keep this special place standing 🤞

Some people have mentioned that there are no regular Car Boot sales nearby, so an amazing volunteer has offered to run them at Castle Roy on the first Sunday of every month throughout the summer. Please spread the word, they are for a good cause and we hope that they will become a regular Nethy Event.

We are holding the first one on the day of the Spring Gathering hoping to increase the footfall at both events.

What a fantastic day we've had at the Speyside Events Wedding Fair at Muckrach Country House.
It was a real pleasure to meet so many couples and chat about the unique opportunities for weddings and events at Castle Roy. From intimate ceremonies to larger gatherings, it’s all about creating something personal in a truly historic setting.
And of course… no Highland event would be complete without a piper — we were delighted to meet Spud the Piper and grab a quick photo!
If you’re considering a wedding with a difference, do get in touch — we’d love to help you bring your ideas to life.
Remember that every event helps to save the Castle for future generations.
