Scotland – MacDuff – Brodie Castle (En)

On our way to Loch Ness, we passed beautiful towns, we could stop in one town and take pictures. The town is called MacDuff and is a fishing town. We passed another amazing town but we couldn’t stop to take pictures, a pity as that town was amazing with an aqueduct at the beach!

We keep going and we saw a sign for a castle and we decided to stop to see it. The castle is called Brodie castle, the ancestral home of the Brodie clan for over 400 years, although their family seat has been here since the 12th century. The castle houses a magnificent collection of furniture, ceramics and artwork, including works by 17th-century Dutch masters and 20th-century Scottish Colourists. It also boats an impressive library containing over 6000 volumes.

We didn’t go inside because we had Asha with us and we wanted to see the gardens and the pond with twitchers shelters (a bird hide) that is used to observe wildlife, especially birds, and sculptures very cool. In the gardens in Spring, they plant daffodils that move with the wind.

After seeing the castle we kept going through the loch ness trail, a beautiful road next to the loch and you can see this in the following post.
