Banff Castle to unveil Coronation Tree plaque at family fun day

Banff Castle will hold a special event on Saturday to unveil a commemorative plaque for its newly planted Coronation Tree.

Following the success of the community venue's launch event, which was a Coronation Festival back in May, the Lord Lieutenant of Banffshire Andrew Simpson has donated the plaque.

He commissioned Banff and Macduff Men's Shed to create it.

There will be an official unveiling by Mr Simpson during the family fun day.

It will take place from 10am-3pm and the ceremony will be held at 11.30am.

Project development, events and castle administrator Carolyn Warne said: "Admission is free to all and we will have lots going on at the event including a performance by Banff Castle Pipe Band, music from George Rennie, Jenny’s Donkeys, Karina the Barn Owl, bouncy castle, giant dart board game, bungee trampolines, giant slide, various stalls and refreshments from the Castle Coffee Shop."
