“The fabulous Will Ferrell paid us a visit this morning and we may have got a little bit fan girly around him.
“He is the nicest man, as are his family and friends.”
Ferrell ‘so interested’ in work done at Braemar Castle’
“Eve had the best time giving them a tour of the castle,” the post added.
“They say to never meet your idols, but this man was a true gentleman and so interested in our work at Braemar Castle.”
Braemar Castle is a 17th century castle owned by chief of Clan Farquharson, Philip Farquharson.
Ferrell was spotted in Glasgow earlier this week as he got out a taxi with his wife on Miller Street and took selfies with fans.
The actor told fans he was visiting Glasgow rather than suggesting he was working on any projects.
