Contact us for more information.

dorit.noble@nianow.com
1) BY AIR: you can fly in to either Glasgow or Edinburgh as both are international airports.
BY RAIL: Edinburgh is probably the best choice, and you can get an ongoing connection to Stirling
2) airport pickup will be either by the hotel minibus (small charge) or - its about 1 hour from airport to the castle. If you choose to spend a night or two in Edinburgh first you can get the train from Edinburgh to Stirling and then organiser can pick you up from Stirling station or taxi (about 15 mins to castle).
3) the white belt is being held in a castle which is actually a hotel with restaurant and bar -- you can stay in the castle so no transport needed. Its in a village about 15 mins from the nearest town (Stirling) but you don't need to go into Stirling. In the village (which is called Menstrie) within walking distance there are small shops for any essentials such a snacks, chemist and so on. Breakfast is included with your accommodation and meals can all be got from the hotel - lunch or dinner - at either the bar or the restaurant.
4) its a split weekend white belt and so that you can make the most of your flight costs and see a bit of the country too AND do it in the company of those who are sure to become friends and/or with guidance from "locals", so in the intermediate days between the course we will organise optional trips out. These might be whole days out to see loch Ness, famous glens etc or to nearby towns with historic palaces (Scone Palace) and to do Nia in a Georgian state room n Perth! These trips will be arranged once we have numbers and may even be as simple as a car trip with the organiser or other local "Nia-peeps) as we love to drive and show people around. Of course the weather may not cooperate - in which case we will go indoors to see Stirling castle and so on. Alternatively you can or take local walks or mini-explorations - lots of choices!
4) If during your stay you want to make a solo-trip into the nearest town, Stirling, there is good local bus (yes a bus) or there are a few local people who can give you lifts I expect, but I think you will most likely be happy to stay at the castle during course days.
5) the belt itself it taking place in the banquet hall of the castle but we will also be able to 'break out' into the lovely lounge overlooking the valley or the bar area and we plan a "farewell" meal in the hotel restaurant the night before the course ends. First day we will start 9.30 and finish around 5pm, final day 27th we will finish at 4pm.
6) there are also lovely walks in the woods and hills around the castle and I will be available for any advice you need
