What is Castle? For more than twenty-five years I've been doing business as Castle Consultants International. That's because I like castles.

Why a Castle? I like the wonderful double image of castles: they are fantastic, dream-like, and up in the air AND they are grounded on rocks, solid as forever. That's why I see castles as a visual symbol of one of the wisest things I've ever said: A goal is a dream taken seriously.

Harburn House is our favourite venue for intensive workshops with small groups. We get exclusive use of this wonderful old house set amid three thousands acres of woods, ponds, and fields. Mike creates incredible meals and Susie takes care of anything from an extra tea break to a trip into Edinburgh.

Thanks to Rozi Spurway, Harburn provides the background for all the wonderful photos that Ervin Šilić took for this website. Click on the photo for more information about Harburn.

I found Harburn through the best venue agent in the world: Sheila Hayles. Would you like her to find a venue for you? For FREE? Click here for Town and Country Conferences .
