It may not be quite correct to call the Loch of Fyvie a loch. It’s a man-made body of water, and the family from the nearby castle always called it a lake. It is, however, usually referred to as a loch now. And it’s beautiful. No debate there.
The colours of winter suit it well.
There are many magnificent old trees round the loch.
I love them.
Gnarly:
Peering through the branches…
And between the trees…
We’ll be heading through that gate to Christmas in the castle soon. There will be music and history and baubles. And maybe a ghost…
