    Went a year or so back and were expecting a bit more than what we got - but not for want of trying by the staff  more »

    Braemar Castle is a residential Castle, that is equipped with furniture from the 1950s. It shows the life of wealthy from this period. The audio guide is brief, but offers additional information for those who want to know more about a topic. We recommend it as a bad weather program that is not among the must-have-seen castles of Scotland. But always, this is the journey through the Highlands. It a stunning sight offered one, which is as beautiful in bad weather as in fair weather, if not even more beautiful.

    Quite interesting castle although not very large. £7 was entry fee and that included audio self tour. Approx 8 rooms within building and plenty articles on show.  more »

  • Beautiful castle in a gorgeous setting! Very tranquil and relaxed. There are several good hostels in the area so your pocket can also relax! 😉
  • This is a romantic old castle in a beautiful location. Unfortunately it was closed when we were there.
  • The reviews sounded excellent so we thought that this was going to be much more spectacular than it was.
  • A beautiful castle in an idyllic location. Well set up with an enjoyable audio guide. The history was well presented and you get a very good insight into Highland life. Certainly well worth a visit.
  • The castle has a stunning backdrop. Excellent guided tours. It's a community project and very inviting with the ability to touch many of the exhibits.
