The hunt across the Brodie Estate had two trails as well as some fun activities with face painting and Bubbles the Clown in attendance — and the giant Brodie Bunny at the centre of the celebrations.

Pam Hill, operations manager for Brodie Castle and Estate, said the trail had been very popular again, with “lots of very happy little ones” enjoying themselves.

She said: “The highlight is seeing how excited the little ones have been after completing the trail and finding all of the clues. It’s lovely to be able to be the backdrop that helps lots of families to create lasting memories.

“Our Easter Trail and other events such as Brodie Illuminated are critical for Brodie Castle.

“Not only do they bring in revenue that helps us look after the castle and the estate, they are also brilliant ways for us to reach new audiences who were not aware of all that Brodie Castle has to offer for a great day out as well as helping us to promote the great conservation work that the National Trust for Scotland does.”
