Clan Murray Exploration

There's something exhilarating about family history!  Yesterday we visited the 1st Murray Castle (Duffus Castle) outside of Elgin, Scotland.  Although it is a castle ruin, and hasn't been occupied since the 17th Century, it was still thrilling.  We climbed up the steep hill, imagining the motte that once protected the castle.  The sky was crystal clear and as we walked around the stone rubble, I couldn't help but think that this was where the Murray's once lived.
We feel so blessed to be able to share moments like these with C. before he deploys for Africa.
A father and son moment.
We also paid our respects to the Clansmen who perished at the Battle of Culloden.
