Scotney Castle

A romantic ruined 14th Century moated castle sits in the heart of Picturesque gardens at Scotney, overlooked by a beautiful Victorian country mansion.

A perk of being a Scotney #volunteer is seeing behind-the-scenes. Today our house volunteers explored items from our hidden collection like photos, toys, jewellery. And these. Books filled but not redeemed. Maybe not quite enough for that steam iron? @southeastNT #VolunteersWeek

Apparently, this was nothing to do with the current filming at Scotney, just a good old natural phenomenon. Stunning! Thank you to @twranger for sharing.
