All of our Aberdeenshire & Angus places will fully close on Friday 24th & Saturday 25th January due to the severe weather warnings. Please do not attempt to access sites.

Please also note that it will take time on Sunday 26th for our Rangers & Estate Teams to survey and make safe our 11 places and over 40km of trail paths. Please check social media updates before travelling, follow any police advice, and be extra vigilant and follow all instructions on site.

This decision has been taken to protect our staff, volunteers and visitors, and to ensure that we do not risk placing additional pressure on emergency services.

"Haddo has been a favourite place of mine to visit since I was a wee girl.

The woodland walks, the formal gardens and even the House itself are a playground for the imagination! It doesn’t get much better than that." 😁

We couldn't agree more 👏
