Aberdeen Fyvie Castle | Explore the treasures of Scottish history

🏰 Step into the time tunnel and explore the treasures of Scottish history - Fyvie Castle! This magnificent fortress located in Aberdeenshire can be traced back to the 13th century and is said to have been built by Lion William in 1211. 800 years of history have witnessed countless historical ups and downs, and it still stands in the beautiful Fyvie village today. 🖼️ Walking in the fortress, you will be surrounded by various portraits, including the masterpieces of Raeburn, the portrait painter of King George IV of Scotland, and Batoni, a famous Italian painter. The paintings here are like a window from the past centuries of this castle, through which you can glimpse a corner of the grand and passing history! 🕰️ 🌄 Anywhere in Fyvie Castle, you will see fascinating collections of weapons and armor, exquisite furniture and porcelain. But the charm here is far more than that. Fyvie Castle has been rumored to have the 'curse of the crying stone' since ancient times. It is said that unless all three stones taken from the castle boundary markers are put together, the eldest son of the family living in Fyvie will never be able to inherit this castle. And people only found the existence of a crying stone, the other two have never been discovered, this creepy 'curse of the crying stone' may explain the unfortunate fate of each eldest son in the castle family for 600 years.
