As you walk through corridors lined with ceramics and curios, you’ll hear about the fascinating stories of the Gordon family who lived at Haddo for over 400 years. There’s something to see every step of the way, as the house is packed full of period furniture, furnishings and family memorabilia – remember to look up at the ceilings too. Don’t miss the Queen’s Bedroom, where Queen Victoria stayed in 1857.

Pre-booked groups are very welcome.

Children will enjoy the quiz sheet, which helps them to identify and learn about various treasures throughout the house.

We welcome school visits at Haddo House. For more information, please see our Learning pages. 

No visit is complete without seeing the delightful formal gardens and sweeping estate. There are bird hides, woodland walks, a play park, a wildflower meadow and plenty of great picnic spots.

Look out for the climate change-inspired Terrace Garden.

Within easy reach of Aberdeen, Haddo House was built for entertaining, regularly playing host to royalty and dignitaries across the centuries. Today, it’s an ideal venue for weddings, corporate events and private parties – please see our venue hire pages for more information.
