Beautiful castle and grounds. Well worth a tour around the castle, to learn all kinds of ghostly goings on.

ABOUT THIS PLACE An imposing 800-year-old fortress, with Raeburn portraits on the walls and wildfowl in the loch Admire the impressive portrait collection, including works by Raeburn, Batoni, Romney, Gainsborough, Opie, Lawrence and Hoppner. Discover the racquets court and bowling alley, as well as the ice house, bird hide and restored earth closet. Don’t miss the grisly death mask of a hanged murderer on display in the library. Enjoy a walk with family and friends around the beautiful grounds. This magnificent fortress in the heart of Aberdeenshire is a sterling example of Scottish Baronial architecture. Inside, the rooms are filled with antiquities, armour and lavish oil paintings. Out in the grounds the grandeur continues, with a picturesque lake and an unusual glass-roofed racquets court.

Earliest parts of Fyvie date from the 13th century. Fyvie was the site of an open air court by Robert The Bruce and Charles the 1st lived here as a child.

Until recent times the seat of the Forbes-Leith family, now owned and run by National Trust for Scotland. Lovely walks in the grounds surrounding a castle with some dark secrets!
