Grampian...

Famous as Castle Country, 9 of Grampian's finest castles and great houses are to be found on Scotland's only "Castle Trail". This themed trail encompasses William Adam's stunning Haddo House and Tolquhon Castle in the east near Tarves; Castle Fraser, one of the "Castles of Mar" and a fine example of a Z plan castle;

Fyvie Castle; the dramatic ruins of Kildrummy Castle, with its delightful gardens; and on via scenic Strathdon to Corgarff Castle, standing like a sentry at the foot of the Grampian mountains.

The picturesque old harbours of Buckie, Portknockie, Cullen and Banff; the coastal villages of Pennan and Crovie - little communities built gable end on to the shore, huddled together in case of winter storms, and tucked below the red cliffs, and often where even now, villagers must carry their goods by hand to their houses - are a 'must visit', don't forget your camera!
