@tartan_viking: Have you ever been to Castle Menzies? (pronounced Mingis) A 16th-century castle that sits just round the corner from Aberfeldy and was the seat of the Chief of Clan Menzies for 500 years. If you're not sure what a "Clan" is, the word essentially means "chidren of", so if you were part of clan Menzies, you were the children of Menzies. Now, that's not to say you had the second name Menzies, as you may have just lived on their land, or were part of a sept family (like Murdochs are to Macphersons), but you owed loyatly to that Chief. And usually some form of tax too...often whisky 🥃 Be sure to save this post and add Castle Menzies to your list of castles to tour in Scotland! It even hosted Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Duke of Cumberland in the run-up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. #tartanviking #highlander #meninkilts #Scotland #visitscotland #scotlandtiktok #tiktokscotland #scottishtiktok #scotlandtravel #travelscotland #scotlandadventures #outlander #bloodofmyblood
