“Even when the Walled Garden is full of visitors at the height of summer, the June Borders are in full bloom and there’s a constant buzz and thrum of bees and insects, there’s still a wonderful feeling of peace, of calm, of tranquility here.”
James Henderson | Operations Manager for South Aberdeenshire
Whether it’s the extraordinary sight of the 300-year-old egg and egg cup Yew hedges that greet you as you approach Crathes Castle, the riot of glorious colours and textures in the Walled Garden or wonderful walks with family and friends through woodlands that change with each season, time spent at Crathes is truly time that stays with you forever.
