Visitor numbers up at Brodie Castle
Brodie Castle, the National Trust for Scotland’s impressive 16th century tower house in Forres, is enjoying a good summer season this year.
Visitor numbers are up by more than 23%, compared to last year. So far in 2008, almost 7500 visitors have spent time exploring the fine art and antiques, peaceful parklands and glorious gardens. That compares with just over 6000 for the same period last year.
Property Manager, Charlie Finlayson said:
“Brodie is a great place to visit, so it’s easy to understand why we are proving so popular. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff or a green-fingered visitor, there is plenty to see here, especially when the weather is not as fine as it might be in July! We also have a fantastic team of staff at Brodie who make it a great place to visit. We hope that the weather improves and we look forward to welcoming many more visitors in the next few months.”
