Fun-seeking families are invited to come and celebrate the first weekend of the summer holidays on Saturday June 26 and Sunday 27 by exploring trails around National Trust for Scotland properties in Aberdeenshire.

Taking place at Crathes Castle, Drum Castle, Pitmedden Garden, Castle Fraser and Fyvie Castle, and eight other National Trust for Scotland properties around Scotland on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27, families can celebrate the start of summer with the Summertime Explorer trails through beautiful gardens and grounds.
