Title
Ecclesgreig Castle
Description
Built in 1844 from the remains of St Cyrus House, Ecclesgreig Castle stood at the centre of an agricultural estate.
Now no longer a functioning house, the castle still commands impressive views of the sea nearby and hosts an Italian renaissance style garden with a 140 ft long herbaceous border, Neoclassical sculptures, and masterful topiary.
The striking castle famously inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula after the writer spent some time there.
It hosts a 'snowdrop walk' through its grounds where over 150 variations of the small flower grow bountifully.
The image is an ariel 360ยบ photo of the garden and castle.
Accessibility note: The garden and snowdrop walk do not accommodate wheelchair usage
