Aberdour Castle and Gardens

The driveway and gardens are open (last entry 4.45pm). The castle remains closed. This splendid ruin was once the luxurious Renaissance home and pleasure gardens of Regent Morton, at the time Scotland's most powerful man. Aberdour was originally built as a fortified residence in the 1100s, making it one of the oldest stone castles in the country. The fine painted ceilings dates from the 1600s.
