Delgatie Castle is one of the oldest and most historic castles in Scotland, situated about three miles to the east of Turriff, and set amongst the magnificent and unspoiled scenery of the Grampian Highlands.
Dating from approximately 1100, the Castle was taken from the Earl of Buchan by the Hays of Delgatie in 1314 after the Battle of Bannockburn, when Robert the Bruce routed the invading English army.
The Castle passed out of the hands of the Hays when it was bought by the Duff family.
