Drum Castle

Drum Castle

A unique Scottish castle combines a 13-century square medieval tower with a Jacobean mansion house and has a great collection of superb furniture and fine paintings on display from the Victorian lairds.  Visitors can climb a ladder to the battlements and take in the amazing views of the surrounding countryside of Forest Drum. 

Don't miss the beautiful Garden of Historic Roses which has been divided into quadrants each containing a design from the last four centuries together with roses from that period.  Also, spend some time exploring the Old Wood of Drum, an ancient oak woodland - now a Site of Special Scientific Interest, woodland trails and a children's playground.

Weddings and Corporate Events
A wedding in a castle in Aberdeenshire? How many grooms imagine themselves striding in their kilt through rooms steeped in history, a piper playing in the courtyard below, to await the arrival of their future wife? How many brides dream of entering the vaulted rooms of a Scottish castle to the gentle tones of a traditional harp, to find their future husband waiting for them?
At Drum we can turn these dreams and imaginings into reality.
There are several areas at Drum that you can use to get married, including the chapel.
