Castle Forbes – Forbes Clan Jigsaw Puzzle
Some historians believe the Forbes clan descends from Kings of the Picts. Castle Forbes, seat of the Forbes Clan, sits on a 6,000-acre estate that can be visited by clan members and area residents by special arrangement. Located near Alford in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and overlooking the River Don, the current castle was constructed in 1815 on the site of a former family home. Its Scottish baronial architecture was selected by the 17th Lord Forbes. Sir Alexander Forbes, who became the 1st Lord Forbes, received a grant for the land in 1411 for his part in the battle of Harlaw, in which Donald of the Isles was defeated. On the property is a stone circle that dates to 3000 BC. The land surrounding the circle is a natural burial ground in which plots can be be purchased. The estate also houses a perfumery and is a maker of men’s shaving products. The charming painting that dates to approximately 1880 is in the public domain.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

Jigsaw puzzle is of excellent quality, finish. Only thing I was not too happy about was the actual image printed on the outside of the accompanying presentation box. It was printed approximately A6 in size and was half the actual size of the presentation box. Making it difficult for me to see the actual jigsaw puzzle design when trying to put together the actual jigsaw puzzle :(.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.
