Gordon Castle Estate in Fochabers represents one of Scotland's most distinguished historic residences, evolving from the 1470s fortified tower known as Bog o' Gight into a monumental ducal seat through centuries of development. The 4th Duke of Gordon transformed it into architectural prominence while establishing the planned village of Fochabers and creating one of Britain's largest and oldest kitchen gardens, an impressive eight-acre walled garden now beautifully restored to modern design standards by world-renowned designer Arne Maynard. Today the estate offers exclusive castle accommodation, self-catering holiday cottages, world-class salmon fishing on the River Spey, and the restored Walled Garden visitor attraction with café. Located nine miles east of Elgin in Moray, Gordon Castle combines historic grandeur with contemporary hospitality and horticultural excellence.
