Ellon Castle, Category B country house in Ellon, Scotland
The stone-built residence features substantial proportions with multiple windows, standing prominently on elevated ground overlooking the River Ythan in Aberdeenshire.
The structure, initially constructed in the 15th century, underwent significant modifications during subsequent centuries, resulting in the current architectural composition visible today.
The gardens surrounding the building contain some of Scotland's most substantial yew trees, with specimens reaching approximately 500 years in age.
The castle gardens remain accessible to visitors throughout the year, featuring designated parking areas, restroom facilities, and a dedicated information center.
Recent community initiatives have transformed the previously private gardens into a public space through a charitable trust, ensuring preservation for future generations.
