Things to Do
More than any other area of Scotland the surrounding Grampian
region offers the visitor a wealth of places to visit, things
to do and see with new found experiences to be enjoyed. This
really is 'Castle Country' with Scotland's only Castle trail
and many of the National Trust's finest properties within easy
reach of Kildrummy. A short drive over the hill is Balmoral Castle.
Nearby lies the Malt Whisky Trail featuring many of our most
famous malt whisky distilleries, most of which welcome visitors
and provide a guided tour along with a 'wee dram' of their famous
produce. A visit to the Cooperage Centre provides an insight
into the ancient art of cask making. To allow you to enjoy your
visit to the full we can arrange chauffeer driven day tours for
parties up to 14 persons .
The sportsman too will find much on offer with over 20 golf courses
nearby, trout and salmon fishing on the Rivers Don, Dee and Deveron.
In Winter, skiing can be enjoyed at the Lecht slopes only 20
minutes away. Clay pigeon shooting can be arranged at a local
shooting ground. Pony treking and horse riding is available at
nearby riding centers.
Along with the Great Garden at Pitmedden and the gardens of Crathes
Castle, the renowned Kildrummy Castle gardens feature an extensive
collection of rare alpines, shrubs and specimen trees. In nearby
Strathdon, the gardens at Candacraig welcome visitors to the
gardens and art gallery. For the motor enthusiast a visit to
the Transport Museum in Alford is a must. |
