His nibs

We went for a look round Blair Castle this morning - full of amazing and curious things, although the views from the windows probably won out in terms of beauty. Some of the Victorian soft furnishings were somewhat oppressive.

This was the first creature I met when I emerged blinking into the light. Evidently no one has explained to him that he doesn't actually own the castle.
