Tolquhon Castle

Castles

By Ellon

Aberdeenshire

From £4.50 per ticket

Explore the impressive ruins of this fairytale castle set in the stunning Grampian countryside.

Sitting within spacious grounds, Tolquhon has been described as one of the most beautiful castles in Scotland. Sir William Forbes, who commissioned it in 1584, intended it to be an impressive residence, though he incorporated plenty of gunloops to deter any hostile visitors.

This is a great building to explore, including a secret compartment above the laird’s quarters where he hid his valuables.

Very occasionally the property has to close at short notice due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons out with our control. Please check the Historic Scotland closures page for any unexpected site closures https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/check-for-closures/. You can also follow closure tweets from @welovehistory using #hsclosure. Alternatively please call the site before setting off to check they are open.
