How Drumtochty Castle became a safe haven and school for Norwegian children fleeing the Nazis Updated: 30/04/2021, 2:52 pm © Supplied by Peter Reid Norwegian children proudly march with their national flag at Drumtochty Castle - their refuge and school during the Second World War.

Almost 80 years ago, though, it was a retreat of a very different sort – a safe haven for Norwegian children who fled the Nazi invasion of their homeland. During the dark years of the Second World War, Drumtochty Castle was bought by the Norwegian-government-in-exile as a boarding school for the young refugees, keeping alight the Scandinavian nation’s education and traditions, ready for the day they could return home.
