A magnificent 16th Century A listed Castle

Kitchen, dining room and cloakroom.
Great hall and the Laird's room.
7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms.

About 4.6 acres
Tillycairn is a 16th Century, 5 storey tower house of stone construction. It has a harled Craigievar pink exterior under a slate roof. The castle was built in 1550 and was a derelict ruin for over 200 years until 1980. Tillycairn has been carefully restored retaining the character and architectural integrity of the original structure with rounded corners, circular staircase tower and corbelled cylindrical turrets, whilst incorporating the necessary facilities required for modern day living. Some 21st Century modernisation and upgrading is now required.
Tillycairn is beautifully appointed and is set in the unspoilt Don Valley with views over productive farmland, mixed woodlands and to the the heather slopes of Bennachie and Corrennie Hill and yet within easy commuting distance of Aberdeen.
Tillycairn is laid out over five floors reached by a spiral stone stair with a private servants stair.



Timber frame garage/workshop with slate roof.
The grounds extend to about 4 acres and are mostly laid to lawn to the west and north of the castle with a belt of trees around the garden to give it seclusion and privacy.
