The keep of Drum Castle is one of the three oldest tower houses surviving in Scotland. It was the work of Richard Cementarius, first Provost of Aberdeen and Kin’s Master mason, in the late 13th century. The original house was enlarged with the creation of a very fine Jacobean mansion house in 1619 and a later addition during the reign of Queen Victoria. The grounds contain the Old Wood of Drum - a natural oakwood - coniferous plantations, deciduous woodland and an arboretum.
