Craigievar Castle
Things to do
SELF-GUIDED TRAILS
There are two waymarked trails around the castle grounds with a wide variety of plants and animals to see.
GUIDED TOURS
Access to the castle is via guided tour only. These last 40–50 minutes, run approximately every 30 minutes (for various reasons this may be extended to 45 minutes) and are limited to 10 people per tour.
CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES
There are two quizzes that can be done inside the castle. One is aimed at children aged 5 and under; the other is for children aged 6 and over.
There’s also a quiz to complete in the grounds, with versions aimed at children aged from 4–14 years.
Look out for our interactive attraction in the dungeon about the castle’s historical studded door.
