Translated by James Robertson, endorsed by the author, and published by Itchy Coo, it is an absolute delight for Scots and Sassenachs alike. “How no, how no?” “Because, hae nae doot, The Muckle Mad Moose will find ye oot.” “The Gruffalo said it wid come tae nae guid If a gruffalo roamed in the deep mirk widd.” The fun continues with The Gruffalo’s Wean (The Gruffalo’s Child)! “That’s awfie kind o ye, Tod, but I’ll no-I’m gonnae hae ma denner wi a gruffalo.” “Whaur are ye aff tae, wee broon moose? Will ye no hae yer denner in ma deep-doon hoose?” A tod saw the moose and the moose looked guid.” “A moose took a dauner through the deep, mirk widd. Whereas the mouse in The Gruffalo takes a walk in the deep, dark woods, the mouse in The Gruffalo in Scots takes a “donner through the deep, mirk widd.” In The Gruffalo, the mouse is “going to have tea with a Gruffalo,” where in The Gruffalo in Scots, he is “gonnae hae ma denner wi a gruffalo.” The linguistic variations are fascinating, and if it’s something you are interested in exposing your children to, then this is the book(s) for you.

With a variety of ticket options available – from the Tall tree trail, the Doric beast trail (which includes a Gruffalo gift) to a beast Feast within the racquets court which will be transformed into a magical woodland space. Visitors to Fyvie Castle will be transported to the tall tree wood and follow a trail around the grounds of the Castle and who knows who you might spot. Encountering three predators who all wish to eat him – Fox, Owl and Snake – the plucky mouse has to use his wits to survive, creating an imaginary monster who then turns out to be only too real. This two-day event on is a celebration of 20 years of Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler’s best-selling children’s picture book.ĭescribed by The Observer as a ‘modern classic’, The Gruffalo is a magical tale of a mouse who takes a walk through the woods in search of a nut. The Gruffalo will be going for a walk at the historic Aberdeenshire castle on Saturday 24 And Sunday 25 August. To celebrate, the National Trust for Scotland’s Fyvie Castle is getting ready to welcome a special visitor later this month.
