Overview
We recommend booking online in advance to guarantee entry.
Balvenie Castle features impressive remains from all three dynastic families that it once served.
A wide ditch encircles this striking, curtain-walled castle. Built in the 1200s as the seat of the powerful earls of Buchan, the heavily fortified stronghold became an elegant lodging in the 1500s.
Marvel at the daunting curtain wall, a rare example of 13th-century military architecture in Scotland. Step inside Atholl Lodging to see the layout and fine Renaissance details of this noble residence. Admire the iron yett, a two-part gate at the main entrance
