‘Twas a Bank Holiday in Scotland yesterday, which just means we get a free day off work so we headed off into the highlands up to Braemar, favourite Scottish spot of our beloved Royal family who, thankfully, were nowhere to be seen!
Incredibly for the UK in general, Scotland in particular and definitely for a Bank Holiday it was sunny and really quite hot. You can find more of my landscapey shots either at my photo blog and/or on my Flickr account, but here’s a shot of Braemar Castle, which is now owned by the village itself and has just opened after some lengthy restoration work:
As you can see, it’s under attack…… It was a nice friendly place and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
The boys wore themselves out as you can imagine, and I’ll leave you with the full horror of them charging towards you: just scroll down quickly for the full effect.

They are gorgeous and I am sure they take after Steph
What a beautiful day that was! Great shots. You must have had fun.
Well, yes they cost me a fortune…..

Hi Erika, thanks!
the daffodils there are amazing! I hope they leave them intact during and after the restoration.
Quite a castle — but I’d hate to see what it looked like after those two happy warriors finished storming the battlements….
Hi Curmudgeon – those daffodils will never be the same again….
I think the daffodils are wonderful also!
I’d love to have so many naturalized like that in my front yard. Of course, I’d like to have a castle for a house too!
All pictures more beautiful. Specially two boy with happy faces looking more attractive. Thanks
