Ellon Castle, Aberdeen, is a late 16th century castle much altered in the 18th. The castle is in ruins and the gardens have not been maintained for years.

However, things are set to improve. A new housing development will provide the funds to restore the gardens and to consolidate the castle.

Work on Ellon Castle and its gardens is expected to last several years

Work is expected to last for several years to make the garden a focus for the people of Ellon.

This will be overseen by the Ellon Castle Garden Trust who are keen to hear from anyone with an interest in the project.
