We visited over ten castles across Scotland and Fyvie Castle was by far the one we enjoyed the most. Our high enjoyment was driven by the castle itself, which is a great castle with very nice rooms, collection and truly interesting history. The history however was brought to life by our tour guide, Les, who made the experience truly extraordinary... More

Worth visiting if in the Aberdeenshire region. They got guided tour, and the castle features nice interior from the last inhabitant, a rich American. Nice gardens and a small cafe as well.

well guided tour,but a little hung up on dates as a posed to what was in each room but as we are national trust members the tour was free so no complaints, may be that was because of my lack of historic knowledge the date were lost on me. A good way to pass a couple of hours and relax

My wife and I arrived at the castle just as a free tour was about to start so we decided to go along. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the history of the castle right up until the National Trust purchased it. The rooms (that you can see) are set up as closely...

As a National Trust member it's great to be able to use my card in Scotland. Fyvie Castle was well worth the visit. It was dreek day in Aberdeenshire, but the welcome my cousin and I received at Fyvie was very warm. All the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable and it was great to see the Trust employing younger... More

I visited for the first time and was amazed by not only the scenary but the history of this beautiful castle. One tour guide named Andrew made my adventure extra special and would recommend this person if you want to learn some true history or even hear one of his ghost stories! Scones in the tea room finished off a... More
