The massive Brodie Bunny has proven a star attraction for families to enjoy the Easter weekend.

The 20ft rabbit was added to the historic grounds of Brodie Castle in Moray as part of its new Playful Garden.

Today it has been the centrepiece of the castle’s Easter events with families scouring the grounds for clues to earn a reward.

Children have turned investigators while searching high and low and complete riddles to get a chocolate prize.

Meanwhile, refreshment vans and a fairground were also set up in the picturesque gardens to allow all to enjoy the holiday.

Our Press and Journal Photographer Jason Hedges was there snapping the best of the days action below.
