Braemar Castle Tours

A castle with multiple towers, a flag, and a surrounding landscape with trees and a hill.
Braemar Castle teems with intrigue and history. Let your imagination run wild about the events that happened behind its doors as you wander around the grounds.

This fortified complex is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Ballater. But Braemar Castle isn't the area's only highlight. Mar Lodge Estate, Glenfiddich, and Braemar Golf Club are some other interesting sights nearby.

7/10 Good! (763 reviews)
We arrived and checked in at 2pm, we went to our room and it was discussing. There was blood on the toliet and bunch of hair. The beds were slightly dirty. The room smelled liked mold. We went to the front desk and I was less than happy with the front desk. We checked out and left to another hotel. I would not stay at this hotel. I am currently trying to get a refund through expedia.
