Ballindalloch Castle is the home to the Macpherson-Grant family since 1546 and is still their family home today. This gives it a very special ‘lived-in’ atmosphere. Among the antiques and family heirlooms are Scotland’s largest collection of fine Spanish paintings, lovely china and many silver trophies won by the Ballindalloch Aberdeen Angus herd, the oldest in existence. There will be time to tour the castle, time for a light lunch and walk in the beautiful gardens.
