Fyvie Castle
Recommended by
Overview
This superb castle, founded in the 13th century, has five towers, each built in a different century by a different family, and is one of the grandest examples of Scottish Baronial. It contains the finest wheel stair in Scotland, and a 17th-century morning room, lavishly furnished in Edwardian style. The collection of portraits is exceptional, and there are also displays of arms and armour and tapestries. Also in the grounds are a lake, American and Walled Gardens, a restored 1903 racquet court, a bowling alley, an ice house and a bird hide.
