Fyvie Castle was once a royal stronghold, one of a chain of fortresses throughout medieval Scotland. From 1390, following the Battle of Otterburn, five successive families created probably the finest example of Scottish Baronial architecture. An old tradition claims that these families - Preston, Meldrum, Seton, Gordon and Leith - each built one of Fyvie Castle’s five towers. The grounds and loch were designed as landscaped parkland in the early 19th century. Visitors can enjoy beautiful lochside walks.
