The Winter Ball was arranged by sisters Louise & Emma, alongside their father Dick in memory of their mother's 60th birthday which would have been 31 December 2007.

The Ball was held in order to increase awareness of Breast Cancer and to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Successful promotion, support, and fantastic planning and organising by the trio has helped to raise over £15,500 for Cancer Research UK, and also to ensure that Gail Taylor's special day did not go without celebration.

Shieldhill Castle would like to commend the Taylor/Drummond families on pulling out all of the stops, at such a difficult time, to turn the event into a fantastic success.
