This magnificent fortress in the heart of Aberdeenshire is a sterling example of Scottish Baronial architecture. Inside, the rooms are filled with antiquities, armour and lavish oil paintings. Out in the grounds the grandeur continues, with a picturesque lake and an unusual glass-roofed racquets court.

Ghosts, legends and folklore are all woven into the tapestry of Fyvie’s 800-year-old history. But stories aside, we do know William the Lion was at Fyvie around 1214 and later Robert the Bruce and Charles I were among its royal guests.

On the 27th and 28th July 2002 Battle Of Fyvie was going on.
At the whole weekend there were several armed knights, soldiers with real canons...
They all were playing the Battle Of Fyvie again.
Two armed forces running against each other - with actors who were killed and with lots of fake blood.
Spider-Man was there too...
From time to time this event happens again.

A great place to explore, there is the Castle itself, cafe, formal gardens, and the lochside path. Run by NTS, there is plenty to see. Come in spring to see the bluebells through the woods.
