Wardhill Castle

Wardhill Castle, a magnificent stronghold that has stood as a sentinel over the Aberdeenshire landscape for over 900 years. Dating back to the 12th century, Wardhill is one of the oldest privately owned estates in North-East Scotland and has been the cherished home of the Leslie family for nearly a millennium. The castle’s storied walls have witnessed centuries of Scottish history, evolving from a modest fortified home into the grand turreted structure you see today. Each generation has left its mark, with additions and restorations reflecting the changing tastes and fortunes of the family. The oldest sections date to the medieval times, with Georgian and Victorian influences layered into its architecture and interiors over the centuries.
