Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Slains Castle, A975, Cruden Bay Peterhead, Aberdeen AB10 1JE Scotland
We start our day with a visit to New Slain Castle just outside the village of Cruden Bay. New Slains Castle was first built around 1597, with additions and alterations made in 1664 and 1708. The castle is famous for its close historical association with Bram Stoker and as the likely inspiration for his legendary character Dracula's castle.
From the coast we travel inland to House of Schivas. Learn about the 5 families who lived here and their influence on the architecture of the house. Hear about the devastating fire and how Schivas was lovingly brought back to life as well as the ghost of Mary Grey who walks the Castle still!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Schivas House, Ythanbank, Ellon AB41 7TN, UK
Visit this small private castle to see what it is really like to live in a castle in today's world.
