Did you know the original sculpture of Greyfriars Bobby is right here at Armadale Castle?
It’s been keeping watch in our Museum of the Isles, on loan from the Skye Terrier Club. This is the original maquette used to cast the famous bronze statue in Edinburgh. 
Discover the story behind the sculpture on our website.#greyfriarsbobby #armadalecastle #skyeterrier #scottishhistory

Bit of a rainy start of the week, but we don't mind. The gardens are glowing, colours bold, scents sharper. Not a bad way to begin the week, if you ask us.#armadalecastle #scotlandgardens #IsleofSkye #GardenofSkye #ScottishHighlands #travgarden

The striking blooms of Pulmonaria, also known as lungwort. One of the first signs that spring is settling in for good. 🥰#pulmonaria #gardens #naturetravel #ArmadaleCastle #skyetravel #floweroftheday
