I do, kind of two really. Dunnottar above Stonehaven, of the ruined castles. Then Drum Castle, on the Deeside of the intact castles, are my favourite. It’s the feel of the place, as well as the history, the original keep section, stories etc. Drum is just along the road from more famous Crathes. Crathes has fancier and larger grounds for walking. Aberdeenshire has the most castles per acre than anywhere else in Britain, so there’s a lot of choice in the area.
1500 is insane!
Do you have a favorite here in Scotland?
