Welcome To Braemar  Castle

The Castle is now closed for the winter, too cold here to stay open!  But the community is feverishly trying to raise the balance of £167,000 to do the urgent roof repairs.  If you'd like to donate, please click here and then on the "Donate" button.  Every penny is appreciated.

We re-open on Saturday 7th April  2012 at 10 am and are open at weekends through until the end of October, we'll also be open on Wednesdays during July, August and the first 2 Weds in Semptember.

Hear stories of the colourful characters associated with the castle, find out how Clan Farquharson began and discover the part played by Braemar Castle in the story of Scotland.  Only 9 miles from Balmoral Castle, take time to visit both and enjoy the different experience each has to offer.  The castles are situated in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park amid spectacular mountain scenery. Enjoy walking, cycling, climbing and fishing or a round of golf at Scotland's highest course and look out for red deer, red squirrels, golden eagles and, if you’re very lucky, the elusive capercaillie.
