Castles in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Deep in an ancient pine forest, beside a fast flowing river, on a high snowbound mountain pass, among rich rolling farmland, and perched on cliffs edges. These are some of the spectacular settings for Aberdeenshire’s 300 castles: there are more here per acre than anywhere else in the British Isles. Most you can see, many you can visit – and some you can even stay in!
