Not too far from Inverness is Brodie Castle. We nearly didn't bother, having already seen so many other castles on this journey.
We parked up, and walked the short distance through the grounds to the castle entrance. Once inside, we were informed a guided tour had just started, the last one for the day, and asked if we would like to join. We gladly accepted.
The castle was one of the most interesting we had seen, and I am sure the tour was part of the reason for that. It was over an hour, but our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle, and also a good story teller. She gave us a really good insight into what life was like here, the family history, pointed out many items of interest, very knowledgeable.
As we left, we took a few minutes to soak in the sun and enjoy the surrounding daffodils.
Now knowing where we were staying tonight, it was time to make tracks and move on towards Morayshire.
