Balgonie Castle
Much filmed castle that was inspiration for the red wedding scene in Game of Thrones and was used in Outlander. Castle dates from 14th century with piecemeal additions over time. Visitor centre.
Much storied castle that was first occupied from 1260 and passed through many hands before almost falling into complete rack and ruin in the 1960s. It is now owned and occupied and is a setting for wedding as well as filming in such series as Outlander. There is a visitor centre open five days a week.
The architecture of the castle if a mish-mash of different styles and periods which makes it more authentic feeling rather than less and its owners are a roll-call of Scottish history.
Opening Times
There is a visitor centre open Wednesday to Sunday between midday to 5pm
