Aberdour Castle was built in the 1100s and went on to serve generations of three noble families – including a Regent of Scotland.
The Douglas family left their mark, raising the height of the hall-house to make Aberdour into a more typical tower house castle and adding further ranges of buildings. Explore the impressive complex and its delightful walled garden and terraces.
