Outstanding historic building on the seashore in the Scottish Highlands
Dunrobin Castle and Gardens的点评
点评:The timing of our visit couldn't have been better. We arrived just after 11:15am which was perfect for the first of the twice daily falconry displays. We made our way down to the display area and were royally entertained by Andy the falconer who displayed two magnificent birds for us, a Harris Hawk and a Gyr Falcon. He was very informative and knowledgeable on the subject. The thirty minute display was just long enough which left time for Andy to pose for photos with the Gyr.
The castle itself was superb. Looking out across the gardens with the sea as the backdrop was wonderful. Inside, the many rooms open to the public were full of lovely artefacts and memorabilia from the long line of Sutherland and Stafford families who are both connected to the castle. The displays were tastefully set out, making the visitor fully immersed in the regality of the castle. The entrance fee covers admission to the castle, the gardens and the falconry display so was very good value for money. The tearoom offered a good selection of beverages and light meals. Unusually for a castle of this age, visitors were allowed to take photographs within the rooms. This was a bonus.
We would highly recommend Dunrobin as a must-visit place for anybody interested in history, architecture and artefacts from bygone years.
翻译:我们参观的时间再好不过了。我们刚过 11:15 到达,正好赶上每天两次的猎鹰表演的第一次。我们走到展示区,猎鹰手 Andy 为我们展示了两只壮观的鸟,一只哈里斯鹰和一只矛隼,他非常热情地招待了我们。他对这个话题非常了解,知识渊博。三十分钟的表演时间刚好够 Andy 与矛隼合影。
城堡本身非常棒。以大海为背景,俯瞰花园,真是太美妙了。城堡内部向公众开放的许多房间里摆满了精美的文物和纪念品,这些文物和纪念品来自与城堡有着密切关系的 Sutherland 和 Stafford 家族。展览布置高雅,让游客完全沉浸在城堡的富丽堂皇之中。入场费包括城堡、花园和猎鹰表演的门票,所以非常物有所值。茶室提供各种饮料和便餐。对于这个时代的城堡来说,游客被允许在房间内拍照,这很不寻常。这是一个额外的福利。
我们强烈推荐邓罗宾,它是任何对历史、建筑和过去年代的文物感兴趣的人的必游之地。
