Sir John Gladstone bought Fasque in 1829 and his son, William Gladstone, Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister, was a frequent visitor throughout his life. Country houses and castles abound in the surrounding areas, such as Crathes Castle near Banchory, with its turrets and gargoyles. There are gardens and woodland walks, as well as craft activities for the children. The ruins of Dunnottar Castle may look familiar to film fans, as the castle was one of the inspirations for Disney Pixar’s animated ’Brave’.
