Thank goodness the National Trust stepped in and saved the castle and its contents. Pity no photo policy, but a good guide book I would buy too.

The castle looks stunning. I'm back from Germany where we visited some fantastic castles, too. Bth, those llamas must have been quite a surprise.

That small Ythanview Hotel in the village of Methlick catches my attention. I surely would like to feel the homely atmosphere in this type of environment. I will never be bored fishing!

Interesting that those families owned the castle and each in fact added to it. Why would anyone need a home so large? I've been told that llamas often are flocked with sheep to protect them against predators.

Joan, excellent page with awesome photos. I have been twice to Scotland, but I must admit that I have never heard of Fyvie before.

Lovely page Joan. I particularly like the sound of the walled garden, and the Ythanview Hotel restaurant sounds a great choice. Fun to see the llamas too ;)
