Castles, Castles, Castles

We had a fun Saturday filled with castles.  We first drove to Fyvie Castle where they were getting ready for a wedding to take place.  Still we were able to view all of the rooms of the castle and then see the bagpipe player for the wedding.  And Kalani loved seeing all of the women dressed up.  We then had a picnic on the castle grounds…Kalani said that was, “A Perfect Idea!”

Our next stop was to Haddo House.  What a gorgeous house it is…plus another wedding was taking place.  (Yes, many people get married in castles here in Scotland.) Haddo House is a guided tour and our guide was very friendly older man.  He even let Kalani sit on a small children’s chair.  It just amazes me how beautiful these old buildings are and how talented people are with painting, sewing, and other talents that are on display in these castles and houses.

Last stop was at Tolquhon Castle.  This is a ruined castle that Kalani and Matt loved.  Kalani loved to explore every inch of the castle…she thought it was made just for her.  Matt said it reminded him of Ultima Online.

We became members of The National Trust of Scotland and Historic Scotland.  So, we plan on using our membership every chance we get!
