Wander the old estate above the foot of the loch, through the walled garden and the wooded Fairy Glen to the lawn in front of the castle.
Why it's a good date: The lawn by the castle has one of the loveliest views down the loch, and it costs nothing. The house itself isn't open, but the grounds are there all year, so bring a flask and find a bench.
