Are you looking for a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy this Easter?
The National Trust for Scotland is hosting a number of Easter egg trails across Aberdeenshire, Moray, the Highlands.
The events will be held over Easter weekend – between Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1 – as the schools break up for the holidays.
Youngsters will have to solve clues to win a chocolate treat in each trail while exploring the historic homes, castles and grounds run by the charity.
Trails can be booked in advance at most locations and cost £4 with accompanying adults going free.
