Right in the middle of Braemar, this castle ruin looks over the river. Most of the ruin is low, but easily accessible (free to access too). There is an information board about the history of the castle too.

Hiking
The small history walking tour signs are well worth following around Braemar if you have time. This castle was once home to Macduff - Thane of Fife who was responsible for killing Macbeth
