Aberdour Castle
Built by the Douglas family, the 13th century fortified residence was extended in the 15th, 16th & 17th centuries. The finished result provided accommodation with a gallery and fine painted ceiling. Also delightful walled garden with beehive-shaped doocot.
Access is limited to part of the ground floor which includes a tearoom, the walled garden and the upper terrace to the south of the castle. Upper floors and terraces are not suitable for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility as access is by turnpike stairs.
Gravel paths to the gardens/grounds can be difficult for visitors using wheelchairs, however access is possible with assistance and for more mobile visitors. Visitors to the walled garden can enjoy its scented flowers.
Toilets: STB Category 3 disabled toilet facilities are available through the shop.
