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.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
