Aberdeenshire has more castles per acre than any other part of the UK and on your travels along the Castle Trail you will step back in time through the last millennium of our country's heritage passing castles and historic properties at every turn, to include romanticism, legend, history and even ghosts.

The trail is easy to follow and will take you from fairy tale magic, grandeur and splendour, to the great ruins steeped in Scotland's legends. This breathtaking Castle Trail affords the luxury of staying overnight in some splendid castle settings and the enjoyment of magnificent gardens.
