| Norwegian Commandos |
| During the Second World War the Lodge was used
by Kompani Linge (Norwegian Commandos) as a training base for their
amazing raids into Norway. These raids were made famous by the movie
The Heroes of Telemark filmed in 1965,
starring Kirk Douglas, Richard Harris and Ulla Jacobsson.
The King of Norway was often a frequent guest at Drumintoul Lodge during regular visits to his countrymen. Above is a picture of one of these Royal Norwegian Inspections which took place in 1944. The photo depicts the commandos standing on the steps to the lodge. The original bunkers used by the commandos can still be seen on the tree-lined driveway leading to Drumintoul Lodge. |
