Aberdour Castle Gardens places to stay hotels near to Dunfermline

Aberdour Castle is one of the oldest in Scotland with the original house being built in the 12th Century. This is not a garden for the enthusiastic plant lover but for the Garden historian it will be fascinating. The gardens were added in the 16th century and comprise of massive terraces ( restored over recent years ) which once were planted with borders and pools. There were plans for a restoration of the original design but these are currently on hold. The terraces overlooked an orchard from the late 1600s which has now been replanted. There is a pretty walled garden at the other end of the Castle. 2011 - Aberdour Castle Open all year - 1 April to 31 October daily 9.30 - 5.30 ( 4.30 Oct )then daily except Thursday and Friday 9.30 -4.30 until 31 March.
