Charity Garden Opening - Westhall Castle

Set in an ancient landscape in the foothills of the impressive and foreboding hill of Bennachie, is a circular walk through glorious daffodils with outstanding views.

This interesting garden is in the early stages of restoration, with large groupings of rhododendrons and specimen trees.

Westhall Castle is a 16th-century tower house, incorporating a 13th-century building of the bishops of Aberdeen.

There were additions in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

The castle is semi-derelict, but stabilised from total dereliction.

A fascinating house encompassing 600 years of alteration and additions.This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
