Drum Castle, Medieval castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Drum Castle combines a 13th-century tower house with later additions, featuring thick stone walls and tall windows in Scottish baronial design

Robert the Bruce granted the Royal Forest and Tower of Drum to William de Irwyn, his armor bearer and secretary, in 1323

The Victorian library contains over 4,000 books, while the walled garden displays horticultural styles from four centuries with specialized rose sections

The castle opens year-round with entrance fees of 16 pounds for adults, including access to the gardens, playground, shop, and tearoom facilities

The ancient oak forest surrounding the castle dates to the 1700s and provides a habitat for red kites and roe deer
