A small walk this morning then Dad and Maggie took us to Aberfeldy where we visited The Burks of Aberfeldy named after Robert Burns a Scottish poet and lyricist in 1787.
Visited the Deer farm for lunch. The Red Deer is the largest wild mammal in Britain. The Hinds ( female) and Stags(male) were all bred in captivity and live about 16 years. Every year in April the Stag antlers fall off and in October the rut (or mating) season starts.
Stopped by The Inn on the Tay for coffee a very picturesque part of the Tay River.
Drove onto Menzies Castle a 16 th Century castle restored by the Menzies Clan during the 20th Century , situated in a small village called Weem near Aberfeldy.
Home via Dunkeld. Spotted red squirrel, pheasants and deer along the way.

Beautiful walks around The Burn of Aberfeldy.
The church in Aberfeldy. Look at the blue sky. It's been grey here for many days!
At the deer farm.
This is the closest to a red squirrel we got. We did see one running in front of us which apparently is very rare.
Pheasants galore.
