Just a few metres away from the walls of Castle Fraser, thousands of daffodils cover the ground. The bright yellow and orange of the flowers, symbol of Spring and renewal, contrast beautifully with the subtle colours of the stones.

As the wind blows, the undulations of the field of blooms is a soothing view. The gentle and harmonious whistle of the stems adds to the comforting feeling.
