Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 419 reviews
17th-century castle owned by the same family for over 350 years. Open April to September; access is by guided tours only. There are steep spiral stairs to the upper floors. A stunning castle in a wonderful setting, said to be the inspiration for Disney's castles.

A lovely old tower house converted to a fairly modern house. comfortable for the owners but with stairs linking the rooms. you can only visit with a guided tour and i think you need more time to take it all in and see everything properly. however it still worth a visit just to see how such tall narrow house were used and what the owners managed to do with them.
2. Grampian Transport Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 315 reviews
Located in the vibrant village of Alford, just 45 minutes from Aberdeen, the museum boasts an impressive range of transport exhibits, from travelling chariots, of the 1800's, to some of the fastest cars ever made. Every season the museum refreshes around one-third of its exhibits –this year's exhibition includes 'The Guy Martin Collection' and 'It's Electric' which gives an in-depth look at the past, present and future of electric vehicles. A few old favourites remain, including our MACK Snowplough, Billy Connolly's Boom Lowrider motortrike and one of our Curator's favourites, the ex-Grampian Police Rover SD1 Vitesse. Our Tea Room serves an array of hot drinks, light lunches and snacks. At the present time, we have in place comprehensive COVID 19 safety measures to keep our visitors as safe as possible. A clear signage system explains how it all works. To prevent overcrowding, we have moved to online bookings accessed through our website.

Tick Tock is a fantastic soft play area, it’s great for kids of all ages. We were there today and it was packed with parties. My Niece, Nephew and my son had a fantastic time, they didn’t want to leave. We ordered a range of meals and they were all first class. They also have the best homemade cakes and biscuits too. It’s definitely my son’s favourite place to go and the best soft play area. It’s also super clean and the whole team are so friendly. 5 star for sure.

my oh my what a magnificent looking castle is this. surrounded by green fields it was a delight to see this castle. there are some benches placed on the grounds. clear info so you can really paint a vivid picture. you can not only walk in the grounds but around it as well. there is a little shop and plenty of free parking and also free toilets.
