Fasque Castle

An exceptional setting for business, leadership and team experiences.

Nestled within the stunning Aberdeenshire countryside, Fasque Castle is an exclusive country estate centred around a magnificent baronial mansion, rich in history, character and timeless grandeur.

Acquired by the family of four-time British Prime Minister William Gladstone in 1829, just 20 years after its completion, Fasque Castle has long been a place where influential minds gathered for cabinet meetings, family occasions and prestigious events.

Today that tradition continues. Fasque Castle provides an inspiring and exclusive setting for corporate retreats, leadership programmes, strategic planning sessions, conferences and team-building experiences.

The estate is situated less than 40 miles from both Aberdeen and Dundee, with convenient road and rail connections.
