Explore the impressive ruins of this fairytale castle set in the stunning Grampian countryside.
Originally a 15th century tower house, Tolquhon Castle was extensively rebuilt by Sir William Forbes, 7th Lord of Tolquhon. Admire the impressively ornamented gatehouse and imagine what life would have been like in this former noble residence while wandering around the remains of the main house. Look for surprising features such as the initials of the castle’s architect Thomas Leiper and the secret compartment concealed beneath the floor of the laird’s bed chamber where Sir William would have hidden his valuables.
