Traquair House
Large house near Peebles, Scotland. This private ancient building was the venue for a medieval fayre today. Not cheap but nice atmosphere, lots of demonstrations (falconry, woodworking, etc.), medieval costumes throughout, knights jousting, soldiers doing thing, juggler and so on. Very well put together. It also has a good maze ( I tend to worry in those things) . Barn owl escaped for bit and sat high in a sycamore tree having a snooze, ignoring people up ladders dangling food until it was good and ready. Got a picture of it having its siesta.

Thoroughly knackered after huge maze etc walk and 200 mile drive. Good day which my daughter enjoyed. Picked up a BBQ and stuff for it but too late/cold by the time we got home. There's always tomorrow.
