We visited the spectacular Drumlanrig Castle on our way back. It is actually a large country house as opposed to a castle (thought a castle once stood on the land).
Unfortunately we couldnt go in as it was closed to the public (as it was set as a Rally base for cars that had just completed a special stage).
The gardens were very nice.
A few years ago, a Leonardo DaVinci painting was stolen from Drumlanrig castle. It was worth £30,000,000! Hard to believe a painting could be worth so much eh.
It belonged to the Duke of Buchleuch who is Scotlands richest man. He has an art collection worth £405,000,000. Unbelievable!
