Unusual for Aberdeenshire in that it is not a castle, Haddo House is proud to be the most homely of the North East of Scotland’s great houses open to the public. Designed by William Adam for the 2nd Earl of Aberdeen in 1732, but refurbished in the 1880s, the house elegantly blends crisp Georgian architecture with sumptuous late Victorian interiors by Wright and Mansfield. Noted for its fine furniture, paintings and objets d’art, Haddo also boasts a delightful terrace garden.
