New Royal connection

Drumkilbo House, originally uploaded by Rev Stan.

I'm not really a massive fan of the Royal's but can now number a whopping two (tenuous) connections with the Queen.
This picture of the most recent, is the beautiful Drumkilbo House near Perth in Scotland where the Queen spent the night back in 1963 and where I spent the week with friends back in July.
I was surprised too. (I bet her room wasn't in the servants quarters.) Not only did they allow us to rent the place but also Glamis Castle is just a few miles down the road and was the childhood home of the Queen Mother.
Now Drumkilbo is beautiful and amazing to stay in, particularly when you live in a small one bedroom flat in Stockwell but for the Queen who has a handful of castles and palaces perhaps it was a novelty because if I'd been given the choice, I'd have probably plumped for Glamis:

Glamis Castle (pronounced Glarms for those that are interested)

I bagsie one of the turret rooms.
Oh and loads more pics from Scotland here
