castles

Dramatic ruins, tower houses, magnificent mansions... we are right at the edge of castle country and there are over 70 in Grampian Highlands. Eleven of the region's finest great houses and castles are to be found along Scotland 's only Castle Trail. Here they are:

Huntly Castle
Duff House
Delgatie Castle
Fyvie Castle
Haddo House
Tolquhon Castle
Castle Fraser
Craigievar
Corgarff Castle
Kildrummy Castle
Leith Hall

One moment you will be in Norman Scotland, the next in Renaissance Scotland. You can let your imagination run riot in dark romantic ruins or in magnificently furnished castles. The trail is approximately 150 miles long and can be followed in either direction. At least one hour should be allowed for each property visit.

You can see the castle trail here: www.agtb.org/attractions/castle.htm

Explore these Scottish castles on one of our weekend leisure breaks.
