Raise a glass and wish your fellow whisky drinkers 'sláinte', as one of the industry's renowned experts inducts you into the wonderful world of Scotland's national drink. Sample a range of whiskies, relish in a 5-course pairing menu in one of the castle's most intimate settings, or even discover how the flavour profiles or cigars and whiskies work together. Experience a distillery and visit the 200-year-old Fettercairn Distillery located on our doorstep. We're here to deliver your ultimate whisky experience.

Utilising the skills of local foragers and ghillies, explore Scotland's natural larder and learn how to stalk, hunt or fish in some of the country's most breath-taking environments, all of which are in the vicinity of Fasque Castle.

Ingredients caught can be brought back to the castle and turned into an evening feast fit for royalty by our in-house chef.

Some of Scotland's finest golf courses can be found within a 50-mile radius of the castle. Iconic St Andrews Links, known as the 600-year old home of golf, is an experience not to be missed. Alternatively, the high-profile Trump International Golf Links is set amongst the dramatic sand dunes of the Aberdeenshire coast. The classic courses of Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay and Carnoustie are also within easy reach. By road or helicopter, we can help you plan a range of bespoke golf days out.

Located between the wilds of Cairngorm National Park and the rugged Aberdeenshire coastline, we are perfectly situated for would-be adventurers and serious thrill-seekers! Blow away the cobwebs with surfing, windsurfing, snow sports or a boat tour along the Stonehaven coast; explore local nature spots during horse riding, mountain biking or 4×4 Land Rover tours; get competitive with archery, axe-throwing or clay pigeon shooting; find your zen with yoga and mindfulness sessions, a sauna or a stargazing evening; or explore agri-tourism with a visit to cashmere goats at Lunan Bay or meet a Highland Cow.

Immerse yourself in Scotland's myths and legends. 'Coorie' down for an evening of storytelling by the fire. You may even learn a few Scots words to use when you get home! Design your own tartan and create your own original kilt made with the finest traditional materials.

Alternatively, journey to some of Aberdeenshire's 260 castles, stately homes and ruins and discover which were the real-life inspiration for some of the best loved film and TV shows. We've got a host of ideas to bring history to life during your stay at Fasque Castle.

A true taste of traditional Scotland, dive into tartan, bagpipes, Highland dancing and all the trimmings! Limber up and prepare to have the most fun you've had in years at your very own ceilidh, take to the stage after learning Highland dancing, or be wowed by the Beating Retreat. Originally a military ceremony to mark the end of a day of combat, this now is a colourful pageant of military music and is used to signify the end of an impressive day of activities.
