Craigston Castle

They say an Englishman's home is his castle. Well, now a Scotsman's castle can be your home. Come and stay in Craigston Castle. Built by, and home to, the Urquhart family since 1604, Craigston is located on the North-East coast of Scotland, considered by National Geographic to be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

Craigston Castle can be rented on an exclusive self-catering basis, usually from May to October, from £3,000 per week. Weekend breaks (3 nights) are also available from £2,000. Craigston can accommodate 10 people in 5 bedrooms, each beautifully decorated with period furniture including original four-poster beds. Each room has its own bathroom.

In the evening you can sit by a roaring log fire in the drawing room and enjoy a good whisky from one of the many local distilleries. The castle has a fully equipped traditional kitchen with modern appliances for self-catering. Meals can be eaten in the kitchen, the dining room or in the Colonial Room.

Your hosts can help you choose from the best local produce: game, lamb and Highland beef; fish from nearby Macduff; and seasonal vegetables.

Some outdoor activities can be organized in the castle grounds, such as clay pigeon shooting, archery and bush craft activities.

Extras that can be arranged include: caterers, maid service, baby-sitting, food shopping, airport pick-up/drop-off, etc.
