About Castle Forbes

Castle Forbes stands in extensive grounds about 3 miles north-east of Alford in Aberdeenshire. Although Castle Forbes is, by Scottish castle standards, a bit of a newbie having only been constructed in around 1815, this Baronial mansion occupies the site of a much earlier structure known as Putachie Castle. The castle is still in the possession of the Clan Chief. The estate produces a well-known range of shaving products.
