Dalnaglar Castle and its surroundings

Blick von der Turmspitze  In Dalnaglar Castle you can feel the positive energy of this mystical place.  Though built by human beings the marvellous snow-white castle seems to  be a genuine part of its wonderful wooded surroundings full of the magic  of untouched nature. It´s also the place where romantic tales of fairies, elves and friendly goblins arose from ...

Balmoral Castle  Dalnaglar Castle is set on a beautiful naturally elevated site in the heart of  Glenshee, which translates as 'The Valley of Peace' and is known locally as  'the fairy glen'. Originally an 18th century hunting lodge, Dalnaglar Castle  was commissioned by Lord Clyde, Queen Victoria's banker, and designed by Her Majesty's architect from Balmoral Castle. This Victorian Castle is let as a whole and each party of guests has exclusive use of a beautiful house with inclusive service.
 

Blick von der Turmspitze  Let us invite you to a pleasant walk through the wooded hills and glens  that surrounds Dalnaglar Castle and get inspired by the magical beauties  of the Scottish Highlands like the "Black Mountain" which is close to the  castle or enjoy a romantic picnic on the shores of the loch within in castle area. 

Der Fluß Tay The castle property contains a very big area covered by old untouched  woods penetrated by the nice Shee Water. Marked paths lead through them  just waiting for you to walk on them. The entrance to the castle grounds is  closed for the public. Intimacy and seclusion create the ideal atmosphere for thorough recreation, an unforgettable wedding or a successful seminar. 

Gästezimmer  Dalnaglar Castle has recently been extensively refurbished to give the  complete combination of 21st century facilities and conveniences,  including computerised heating and plumbing, while retaining the  character of a spacious stately home. The residence has 9 well-appointed en-suite bedrooms for 18 guests and further modernised accommodation available in the four cottages within the castle grounds for a further 20 visitors.

Das Stiegenhaus  Let the Victorian charms of Dalnaglar Castle overwhelm you! No room is  similar to another! You will have to get accustomed to this labyrinth of  stairs and corridors discovering new interesting features like precious  paintings and furniture almost everywhere. Yes, it´s right! You can feel yourself at home like the owner of the castle as long as you remember that you are not the real owner. 

Dining Room  The whole property including the very comfortable and elegant drawing  room and the well-stocked library is at your disposal if your group  contains at least 8 persons. Meals are freshly cooked. You can enjoy them  in the festive dining room and discuss important matters in the library afterwards. Another advantage is that you have both accommodation and seminar rooms under the same roof and don´t have to leave the castle to go to sleep. You see, as long as you have booked for a certain date in time, it is no problem at all to even celebrate an intimate small but princelike wedding within the castle walls. 
 

You can book accommodation in the castle for at least 8 persons --- PRICE examples

As always, we are happy to arrange this for you, or alternatively can help suggest and put you in contact with the relevant people within easy travelling of Dalnaglar Castle.

If you like stalking red stags are available in September - this is the best time as they have no velvet on the antlers. Roe Buck stalking is available from April until October. Hinds/Roe Does are available from the end of October until mid February. This makes for very demanding stalking and is much under estimated.
