More Scottish castles

Having acquired a taste for touring Scottish castles, The Wombat begged to be taken to see Fyvie Castle. Unfortunately, it was a very rainy day, but The Wombat happily wandered around the castle and gardens.



He did find the gate from the gardens to the house a bit of a struggle, plus the walk up the drive was a bit much for his little legs, so his human friends carried him the rest of the way.




The Wombat definitely preferred to watch and listen to the big thunderstorm (complete with fork lightning) from the castle's Dining Room. The castle was lived in until 1985, and has lots of history. It also has a ghost called Dame Lilias Drummond, although The Wombat couldn't manage to find her. He did like the comfy Billiard Room, with a big fire, and asked if he could come back to stay overnight one day.

The Wombat was also lucky enough to get a quick peek at Haddo House, which is not far from Fyvie Castle.


But after a quick amble around, and an unfortunate incident with an antique cannon, he became quite tired and was ready to go home.
