Standing against a backdrop of rolling hills and set within its own glorious gardens, Crathes Castle is every inch the classic Scottish tower house - and a fantastic day out for all the family. Inside you'll find a labyrinth of cultural history, from family portraits and fine antique furniture to painted ceilings. The walled garden is split into eight sections that encompass every green delight imaginable - a sculpted topiary, soft herbaceous colours and modern exotic blooms. Nature spotters will love the waymarked trails along the Coy Burn - keep an eye out here for buzzards, herons and kingfishers. The Wild Wood adventure play area, a fantastic playpark inspired by the stories and setting of Crathes Castle is open for families and children to enjoy, complete with slides, sandpits and a zip wire with see-through walkway. Once you have explored the castle grounds why not drop in to the Courtyard café for a light lunch and some of their homemade cakes and treats!
