Crathes Castle

Saturday morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and knew we had to get outside! The weather can change quickly so we didn't waste anytime. We drove west about 20 minutes to Crathes Castle. This Castle has beautiful grounds; it looks a little bare and brown right now but it will be in full, colorful bloom in just a few weeks. Looking forward to going back already!

This castle had beautiful painted ceilings. Only a few of the originals remain; they are the process of restoring all of the ceilings

This castle was home to the Burnetts starting in the late 16th century.

The rest of our weekend was spent piddling around the house. We finally hung a couple of pictures. Slowly but surely it's coming together!

What did you do this weekend?
