    Tips

    September 2, 2018

    The castle is accessible by public transportation; take the 291 Stagecoach bus to East Newseat of Tolquhon. The castle is about a mile from the stop. Ask the driver to drop you at the path for the castle to save some walk. Don't miss the original Forbes coat of arms carved in stone; it used to be in the 15th century tower but is now in the visitor's center.

      Great castle in a very quite location. We enjoyed the visit and we recommend it.

        Lovely castle run by Historic Scotland. Unfortunately still closed due to covid 19. (June 2021) Hopefully opening soon.
