点评:My wife and I went with our daughter visiting us from Dublin. We've been on numerous such tours, including Culzean, and this is by far the nicest. It helps that the palatial mansion is lived in. It's much warmer and less museum-y than most such tours. The art collection is fantastic, especially the Dutch masters pieces.
Our tour guide, Moira, was extremely well informed about all of the family history and the provenance of the contents of the home, and very welcoming. The tour lasts about an hour and a half and involves some stairs, but not a lot. In that time, visitors admire about a dozen rooms that the Scott family inhabit while in residence, virtually everything except for bedrooms and the like. Family photos are intermingled with works of art throughout. There are lovely woodland paths that one can walk, and the gardens. There's a nice tearoom within on the ground floor. In nearby Thornhill one can take the kids to the Drumlanrig Cafe for a good and very reasosonably priced pizza, if they've been good.
Plenty of parking. Highly recommend.
翻译:我和妻子带着从都柏林前来的女儿一同参观。我们参加过很多类似的游览活动,包括库尔津城堡之旅,而这次无疑是最棒的一次。这座宏伟的庄园至今仍有主人居住,这一点也增色不少——它比大多数类似景点要温馨得多,也少了几分博物馆的生硬感。馆内的艺术品收藏也极为出色,尤其是那些荷兰大师的画作。
我们的导游莫伊拉对这户人家的历史以及馆内物品的来历了如指掌,态度也极为热情亲切。整个游览过程大约需要一个半小时,途中会经过一些楼梯,但数量不多。在此期间,游客可以参观斯科特一家居住时所使用的十几个房间——基本上除了卧室等私人空间外,其他区域都能参观。整个宅邸内随处可见家庭照片与艺术品的搭配陈列。此外,还有迷人的林间小径可供漫步,以及漂亮的花园。底楼还有一家不错的茶室。在附近的索恩希尔,如果孩子们表现不错,可以带他们去德拉姆兰里格咖啡馆,品尝美味且价格十分实惠的披萨。
停车场也很充足。强烈推荐。
