Drum Castle is a castle near Drumoak in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Castle lies on the north side of the A93 road some 10 miles west of Aberdeen.
Drum Castle, the oldest intact building of the National Trust for Scotland, is featured in the self drive Scottish tours of Secret Scotland.
The sweep of 700 years of history is stamped into Drum’s battlements, medieval square tower and sprawling extensions.
The Royal Forest and Tower of Drum were given to the Irvine family by Robert the Bruce in 1323.
Later a Jacobean mansion house was added, and in the Victorian era the lower hall was converted to a library, now containing a mighty 4,000 books
