Corgarff Castle is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. We passed it on the way down from Dufftown to Ballater last year on the (in)famous Tomintoul – Cock Bridge road, the A 939. Unfortunately it was on one of the days of the week when the castle isn’t open.

It’s ummissable from the road standing on the hillside as it does, but there’s a steep path up from the car park.

The unusually shaped perimeter wall was built when the castle was a barracks.
