No visit to Scotland would be complete without a visit to Fyvie Castle, the finest in Scotland, visit the castle, walk around her gardens, have a stroll around the beautiful loch and have a scone and a cup of tea in the tearoom what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Or if you have all day take a picnic with you and simply chill out.
