Crathes Castle, built in the second half of the 16th century, is a superb example of a tower house of the period. Some of the rooms retain their original painted ceilings and collections of family portraits and furniture. A visit to this property is enhanced by the walled garden, which incorporates herbaceous borders and many unusual plants. Indeed, the great yew hedges, fascinating examples of the art of topiary, date from as early as 1702.
