Step back in time through the last millennium of our country's heritage on Scotland's only Castle Trail. A selection of eleven of the world's most unique scottish castles ranging from the fairy tale magic of Craigievar, to the rugged splendour of Kildrummy Castle ruins, to the elegant timelessness of the country house grandeur of Leith Hall.

Aberdeenshire is matchless in the richness of its castle tradition and Scotland's Castle Trail brings together some of the most splendid examples of castellated architecture together on a clearly sign-posted tourist trail. <<return to trails To view information on other Castles and Gardens in Grampian open to visitors click here or to find out some history or what people think click here.
