This spacious detached country residence, Marionburgh, is set in a large mature garden with trees, shrubs and beautiful lawns. Ballindalloch is one of the very few privately owned castles to be lived in continuously by its original family, the Macpherson-Grants, since 1546, and is still a much loved family home. Visitors enjoy complimentary entry to the castle and gardens during their stay here. The castle boasts elegant rooms and fine furniture, while outside there are lovely riverside walks, a 17th-century dovecote and a beautiful rock garden created early this century. The estate is also the home of the famous Aberdeen Angus herd of cattle, and now the oldest herd in continuous existence.
