Lord and Lady Dalhousie extend a warm welcome to their home Brechin Castle at the ancient city of Brechin in the beautiful County of Angus in North East Scotland. Brechin Castle and the spectacular gardens are open to the public at set times each year.<\/p>\n

Brechin Castle stands proud on a massive bluff of rocks above the River Southesk on the site of a much older fortress belonging to the Scottish kings. The present house was last reconstructed in the early 1700\u2032s and incorporates parts of the original Castle dating back to the 13th century. The building has evolved from a defensive role to its present great house style.<\/p>\n

Opening Times:<\/strong>
\nSee the website for details of opening days and times.<\/p>\n

Accessibility:<\/strong>
\nBrechin Castle has level access to both the house and garden, as well as accessible parking and drop-off points. However, access within the house itself is limited, as stairs are required to reach the first and second floors on our guided tours. The garden also has limited accessibility due to its sloped terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1685,"template":"","tags":[],"location":[5],"accessibility":[28,36],"attraction-type":[102,82,141],"class_list":["post-1684","attraction","type-attraction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-brechin","accessibility-accessible-parking-or-drop-off-point","accessibility-parking","attraction-type-castles-historic-houses","attraction-type-heritage-attractions","attraction-type-history-culture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAttractions
