In the lowlands of Aberdeenshire, in the midst of spacious, undulating countryside, stands a building which is, historically, one of the most interesting in Scotland. The Castle of Fyvie, in the centre of a parish of the same name, occupies a commanding position on the left bank of the river Ythan. Great enshrouding woods recede from it to leafy hills where the sunlight only penetrates dimly. Near the Castle glimmer the waters of a wide, still lake. Over all broods an air of mystery, of romance.

I created this web site to introduce new books  and provide more information on Fyvie Castle and its Lairds – and to encourage people to visit a place whose history goes back to the year 1211. I will be updating the site with new items of interest as I find them.

The Castle is now a National Trust for Scotland property, and links to the National Trust’s website are included in this one.
