Brodie Castle is one of the top 10 most photogenic floral locations in the UK, according to online statistics.

Interflora has researched the most 'Instagrammable' spots for flowers based on the number of hashtags attached to pictures.

The National Trust for Scotland property, four miles west of Forres, recorded 4595 hashtags, making it the 8th most popular.

Brodie Castle has a long association with daffodils.

Between 1899 and 1942, Major Ian Brodie, the 24th Laird of Brodie, raised tens of thousands of them within the castle's grounds.

Major Brodie also bred over 400 named cultivars, of which 116 can be seen today.

The UK's most popular floral location, according to the research by Interflora, are the Hitchin Lavender Fields (21,813 hashtags) which are about an hour's drive north of London.
