Huntly’s most popular attraction is the castle but the town itself is well worth a wonder. It's on the Speyside Whisky trail. The river Deveron flows just to the north and the Nordic Ski centre is here.
The Castle just north of the town was first built in 1190 to guard the rivers crossing point. The castle has been further fortified and extended over the years. in 1602 the castle had an extensive makeover in the French style, much of this architecture remains in the ruins today.
