Fasque Castle New Year 2026

Your Castle, Your Celebration, Your New Year

This Hogmanay, step beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary.

Set amidst the breath-taking landscape of Aberdeenshire, Fasque Castle offers an unforgettable private New Year escape, where centuries of Scottish heritage meet contemporary luxury.

Built in 1809 and once the childhood home of four-time British Prime Minister William Gladstone, this magnificent 19th-century baronial estate becomes your own private castle for an exceptional Hogmanay celebration.

Gather with family and friends and immerse yourself in days of exquisite dining, roaring fires, elegant interiors, Highland traditions and spectacular celebrations.

Fasque Castle accommodates up to 40 guests across 19 beautifully appointed bedrooms, giving you and your guests the rare opportunity to enjoy the entire estate together.

Perfect for unwinding beneath Scotland’s winter skies.

From elegant interiors and roaring fires to sweeping views across the estate, every corner of Fasque has been designed to make your stay feel utterly special.

Your suggested Hogmanay

Imagine arriving at your own private castle as winter settles across the Aberdeenshire countryside.

A traditional piper welcomes you with the sound of Scotland. Champagne awaits. Fires crackle in grand fireplaces. Candlelight fills the dining rooms.

And, as midnight approaches, the castle comes alive!

Raise a glass of Champagne as the bells ring in the New Year, then dance the old year out with a traditional Scottish ceilidh.

From the first welcome to the final farewell, every detail has been considered to create a Hogmanay celebration that feels wonderfully personal, effortlessly elegant and unmistakably Scottish.

Food is at the heart of the Fasque experience.

Throughout your stay, the talented chefs can create exceptional dishes, inspired by the seasons and the landscape surrounding the castle.

Expect the finest locally sourced Scottish ingredients, beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented.

From your welcoming cream tea and relaxed suppers to a spectacular five-course gala dinner and New Year’s celebrations, every meal becomes part of the occasion.

Your Hogmanay can be as relaxed, adventurous or spectacular as you wish.

A stay at Fasque Castle is more than a celebration, it’s the chance to step away from everyday life and spend precious time together in one of Scotland’s most atmospheric settings.
