Aberdour Castle is in the village of Easter Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. Parts of the castle date from around 1200, making Aberdour one of the two oldest datable standing castles in Scotland, along with Castle Sween in Argyll, which was built at around the same time. [1]
Aberdour is among the oldest masonry castles still standing in Scotland. Hidden in the complex are the remains of a two-storey hall-house, which may date to the early to mid-1100s. Its walls are built from ashlar (square-cut stone) and look remarkably like those of the nearby St Fillan’s parish church, which dates to the mid-1100s.
See the large and imposing suite of buildings from the 12th to the 17th century with the grand hall-house, thought to be the oldest standing stone castle in Scotland. There is also a delightful walled garden, with scented flowers and a beehive-shaped doocot, which overlooks the Forth.

Mar 20, 2018 · Aberdour Castle, a scenic old stronghold with terraced and walled gardens and orchard of the Douglas Earls of Morton, in the pretty seaside village of Aberdour in Fife with the picturesque harbour and sandy beaches.
Aberdour Castle is located in the village of Aberdour in Fife. It’s one of the oldest standing stone castles in Scotland, dating back to the 12th century, and features a delightful walled garden, a beautiful 17th-century gallery, and a beehive-shaped dovecot which is said to have housed 600 pigeons.
The Aberdour Castle is home to crumbly ruins, delightful 17th-century painted reliefs, and a tonne of fascinating Scottish history that’ll enrich your visit to the golfing kingdom of Fife. There’s even a smattering of furniture in the east range to give you a better insight into what the castle ruins would’ve looked like in their heyday.
