Thank you and congratulations to all the competitors who took part in the 14th Buccleuch Property Challenge on Friday 10th September 2021. When we decided to go ahead with running the event this year after cancelling in 2020, it was a bit of a gamble so a huge thank you to everyone who took a leap of faith with us, we truly appreciate it. Luckily, we were rewarded with a fantastic day at Drumlanrig Castle and we had a brilliant range of activities including Highland games, axe throwing and a pretty ambitious hill climb with the route including new parts of the estate to explore. A huge thanks also to everyone for their fantastic support in raising an incredible £20,000 for our chosen charity Borders Children’s Charity.
