Ethie Castle B&B - Arbroath

Ancient Sandstone Fortress Dating From The 14th Century Offering B&B, By Arbroath In Angus

A warm welcome awaits at Ethie Castle, an ancient sandstone fortress dating from the fourteenth century and reputed to be Scotland's second oldest permanently inhabited castle. The castle was bought in 1665 by the Carnegie family, who later became the Earls of Northesk. It remained with them until 1928. In recent years the castle has been carefully restored and maintained to form a magnificent home of great character and historic importance.

The castle is conveniently located on the north east coast, north of Dundee, Carnoustie and Arbroath. We are within easy driving distance of the beautiful Angus Glens, where you can see eagles, buzzards, deer and some of the most striking scenery in Scotland. Nearby is the Victorian Trail; from Fettercairn to Balmoral over heather clad hills by way of picturesque villages where Queen Victoria and her beloved husband were a popular well known couple.
