Clan Baird - Auchmeddan Castle (site of) - Photo Print

On the windswept cliffs of Aberdeenshire lies the territory once overseen by the mighty Clan Baird. Overlooking the picturesque North Sea and the charming village of Pennan, these cliffs of Auchmedden played host to an intriguing piece of Baird history.

The lands of Auchmedden are inseparable from an old prophecy made by the revered Scottish seer, Thomas the Rhymer. As long as the Bairds owned these lands, he claimed, eagles would nest on the cliffs. Indeed, as long as the Bairds held reign, eagles were a common sight, their majestic presence a living testament to the clan's harmony with nature and their deep-rooted ties to these lands. However, when the lands were passed on to the Earls of Aberdeen, the eagles mysteriously vanished, only to return when a Baird woman married into the Earl's family.
This captivating tale beautifully illustrates the bond between the Bairds and the land they once called home. Today, the landscape photography print of Auchmedden captures this powerful connection, offering a bird's-eye view of the cliffs that once held the nests of eagles and the quaint village of Pennan, a place made famous by the film "Local Hero."
