Completed as one of Scotland’s largest houses in the 1770s by the Duke of Gordon, Gordon Castle is the spiritual home of the House of Gordon, one of Scotland’s oldest families. The estate nestles in the Spey valley, in the heart of whisky country, with a stretch of the Spey River running through the estate, which boasts some of the best salmon fishing in the world. The Castle is an exclusive use venue ideal for luxury escapes, weddings and corporate events.

At over eight acres, the Walled Garden at Gordon Castle is one of the largest in the country and once restored will be the largest fully productive walled garden in Scotland. When the renovation of the garden began back in 2011 all that remained of the former Victorian garden were the fruit trees and a grass field. Today, the eight-acre garden is a multi-faceted project acting as both a working garden, tourist attraction and cafe.
