Aberdour is a wonderful example of how a mediaeval castle could be extended and modified over several centuries. From being a secure place of strength in the 13th century, it later became an outward-looking residence surrounded by pleasure-grounds.
The castle became the principal seat of the Earl of Morton in 1456. It has delightful terraced and walled gardens and a 16th century conical dovecot with some 600 stone nesting-boxes. St Fillan’s Church in the castle grounds was built about 1140. The nave and chancel are rare examples of Scottish Romanesque architecture.
Shop, picnic area and tea-room.
