Delgatie Castle
Turriff, Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

If you want to stay in an idyllic Scottish castle then this is a perfect place for a vacation. Set in beautiful Deeside, near Turriff, this is a perfect castle with romantic holiday accommodation within. It was the ancestral home of Clan Hay and was in the Hay family for the last 650 years. It was until recently the home of Captain and Mrs Hay of Delgatie and houses the Clan Hay Centre. Mary Queen of Scots stayed at Delgatie in 1562 after the Battle of Cirriechie - you can even visit her bedroom.

Delgatie Castle dates from 1050 but was rebuilt (like many Scottish castles) in the 16th century when greater fortifications were needed. There are fine 16th century painted ceilings still on view. The estate is picturesque and peaceful with delightful gardens and is a wonderful base for touring the north east of Scotland and Deeside. If you are looking for a vacation in a castle in Scotland then this is the place to stay! It is very romantic accommodation in a castle and the main bedroom has a four poster bed.
