Drummuir Castle was built in 1847 by Thomas Mackenzie for Admiral Archibald Duff, whose distinguished career included service with Lord Nelson.The Castle is a splendid example of the Scottish Victorian architectural style. The romantic roofline with its battlements, turrets and chimneystacks is dominated by the 60 feet high central lantern tower, notable for its Gothic tracery.
The Castle lies in a wooded glen between Dufftown and Keith in the heart of Speyside, Scotland's whisky country.
With its fine panelling, paintings and furniture reflects an historic past, yet maintains the warmth and charm of a family house. Dominated by the Gothic Lantern Tower which soars some 60 feet, the hall is the scene for many a late night ceilidh. The Gaelic word ceilidh means party.
