    On to Drum Castle, the grounds

    The final castle of our tour – Drum. An interesting find! Last time I saw a tree like this – it was at Muir Woods (named for the Scottish born American naturalist). This one is estimated to have been planted in the 1860s.

    Inside Crathes Castle

    This is the ceiling with some intricate paintings. They nicely provide mirrors so you don’t have to bend your neck much.

    A different flavor of castle! This one was apparently occupied until around 1950. They have a a ParkRun here! It also has a lovely garden – hope to be back there in spring when more of the plants are in bloom.
