An ideal place for the whole family to visit for a fantastic day out on Royal Deeside. The castle, with its fairytale turrets, is a superb example of a 16th century tower house, but is equally renowned for its interior - some of the rooms retain their original painted ceilings. It was home to the Burnett family of Leys for four centuries and the castle walls hold many family stories and secrets.
The Old Horsemill has been converted into an attractive gift shop where you can relax in perfect surroundings and the Courtyard Cafe offers a choice of refreshments. Six exciting woodland walks and an adventure playground offer interest for visitors of all ages.
