Children of all ages have hopped along to Fyvie Castle for a fun-filled Easter scavenger hunt.

The unique trail around the castle grounds featured an array of clues and puzzles to solve all leading to a chocolate reward.

Families took advantage of the sunny spells and enjoyed a casual stroll around the walled gardens and tranquil Loch of Fyvie.

Others ventured behind the walls of the 800-year-old fortress to admire the historical collections on display inside.

Our Press and Journal photographer Wullie Marr was out snapping the best of the day’s action.
