Had the good fortune to be back in neighbourhood of Dunrobin Castle the most northern of Scotland’s great houses and largest in the Highlands which I absolutely loved one of my most favourite places so far that I have visited. The last time I was here I did not have time to walk the stunning gardens and they certainly did not disappoint in any way as I strolled round under warm sunlight today. Unfortunately due to layout of the house and rooms that the family normally make accessible (It has 189 in total ) and because the house is still very much inhabited and lived in at times by Sutherland family only a few were available to see as we could not social distance correctly when viewing from room to room. Sadly the Military room was not available much to my disappointment. Those of you who have read our previous blog on our first visit will know this is where I felt the most ghostly feeling and not the ready made commercial ghost story that’s advertised in the seamstress room. However I was drawn to a uniform in the seamstress room on a dummy possible waiting for some repair work. The Military room had so many uniforms on display and a few of them were where I was closely drawn to -but in todays climate even my favourite ghost was socially distancing from me .
( I have reposted my pics to remind you all -taken with permission at that time as no photographs were allowed -unlike now where you could/are allowed photograph.
Its interesting that since visiting and my blog on the uniforms I have since found out the Castle was a naval hospital during the first world war during this time some of inside interior and towers were destroyed by fire in 1915. Between 1965 and 1972 the house became a boarding school to 40 boys and 5 teachers. in its first years. I wondered how the rooms had been divided for use and who would have studied there. Since then in 1973 the grounds have been open to public with the private accommodation open to the Sutherland family.
