About this property
Traditional Scottish Castle steeped in history but with unique interior design which offers a contemporary twist. The private estate offers you a setting which you can only dream of, with deer park, woodland and wildlife to explore.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, Fasque Castle was built in 1809 and was bought by the family of four time Prime Minister William Gladstone in 1829. It is not every day you can stay in a castle and this is a pretty exquisite place to stay and spend time with friends and family to simply enjoy time together or celebrate a special birthday or occasion.

Lovers of the great outdoors will love the Cairngorms or why not visit a local distillery, all within 20 miles.
