There’s something quietly magical about Craigievar Castle. Tucked away among the trees, all pink towers and fairytale shapes, it feels like a place dreamed up rather than built. It’s said to have inspired Walt Disney when he was imagining Cinderella’s castle, and standing here, it’s easy to see why. But beyond the Disney connection, there’s a stillness to Craigievar that stays with you. A reminder that Scotland’s stories don’t shout, they linger, waiting for you to slow down enough to notice the

Craigievar Castle looks like it’s been plucked from a storybook. You don’t expect to see a pink castle in the middle of the Scottish countryside, but there it is, tucked among the trees in Aberdeenshire. It’s not the biggest or flashiest castle in Scotland, but there’s something about it that just stops you in your tracks. Worth the detour if you’re in the area, even just for a wander and a photo #scotland | johnmurrayjnr

Craigievar Castle might just be the most magical building in Scotland and it’s not just because of its pink exterior. Completed in 1626 and beautifully preserved, it’s a rare example of true Scottish Baronial architecture. Some even say it inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle. Whether you’re a history buff or just love a good photo spot, this place is well worth the visit. #scotland #scottish #castle #disney #scotlandisnow #visitscotland #scottishaccent #braveheart #outlander

CRAIGIEVAR CASTLE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The history of Craigievar goes back to at least the 14th century. We know that the Mortimer family held the estate since 1376, but it was not until 1575 that Sir John Mortimer began the process of transforming the house into the impressive residence we see today. Sir John was rising in society, and he wanted a house that befitted his rank of baron. One of the most famous descendants of Danzig Willie to leave his mark on Craigievar was ‘Red’ Sir John, his grandson
