Kincardine Castle Hogmanay 2026

Set amid the rolling beauty of Royal Deeside within the Cairngorms National Park, Kincardine Castle offers a refined and private setting, surrounded by some of Scotland's most striking landscapes.

Gather family and friends for an unforgettable New Year escape, where every detail is effortlessly taken care of. From the moment you arrive, the acclaimed chefs and dedicated housekeeping team ensure a seamless stay, allowing you to fully relax, and indulge in your celebrations to 'ring in the bells' in true Scottish style.

Enjoy exclusive use of the castle and private grounds, featuring ten luxurious double or twin en-suite bedrooms, complemented by two additional single rooms with private bathrooms; a truly intimate setting for friends and family.

At the heart of the house, the Great Hall is adorned with magnificent Christmas trees, soaring to an impressive height, while a further tree brings seasonal warmth to the Drawing Room. Throughout the reception rooms, open fires are kept burning, casting a golden glow and creating an atmosphere of timeless charm.

Whether you wish to curate a bespoke programme of activities or simply retreat indoors to cosy up by the fire, the castle team will tailor a stay to your wishes. Within the castle, enjoy classic parlour games and intimate whisky-tasting evenings beside the fire - perfect for lingering winter nights.

Beyond the castle walls, the estate offers a wealth of traditional Highland pursuits, including mini-Highland Games, clay-pigeon shooting, traditional pheasant-shooting, and guided farm and estate tours. For those wishing to explore further afield, local excursions for horse-riding, mountain-biking and scenic hiking can be arranged. Water-sports and go-karting are also within easy reach for any adrenaline-fuelled guests!
