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.
There is currently no visitor access to the castle and the grounds due to access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure while we undertake high level masonry inspections.
