Scotland: travelogue March 2003

Also this year we fly to Scotland and rent a car. This time we have a very special accommodation, the gatekeeper's house of Ardverikie Castle, a castle in itself. Gate lodges or gatekeeper houses are smaller and more intimate and we often find them nicer than the larger castles themselves. If you want to stay in such a gatelodge yourself, nowadays you have to book more than a year in advance and it has become quite expensive.
