See for yourself why this noble residence is said to be one of Grampian’s most picturesque castles. Among the lavish details are fine carvings of its chief builder Sir William Forbes and his wife. Roughly 7 miles from Ellon.

Tolquhon Castle is for the most part a comfortable 16th century mansion with an earlier 15th century tower in one corner. Noted for its highly ornamented gatehouse, Tolquhon is one of the most picturesque of the castles in the Grampian countryside.
