Maryculter House

For the duration of our tour we have taken over one of Aberdeenshire’s most historic hotels, nestled on the banks of the graceful River Dee. Only twenty minutes from Aberdeen, this beautiful property can trace its history right back to the time of the Great Crusades, when the Knights Templar were granted part of the land of Culter, on the south side of the River Dee by King William the Lion in 1187. Between 1221 and 1236, the powerful Bisset family, the Lords of Aboyne, founded the Preceptory, or College, of the Knights Templar on the site of Maryculter House.

All that remains of these buildings today are the stone vaulted chambers located underneath the Great Hall, and the burial grounds and chapel ruins in the grounds next to the hotel. Dating back to 1460, the atmospheric Great Hall is the most ancient part of the hotel and is redolent with historic grandeur. Home to the prominent Jacobite William Menzies in the eighteenth century, the building was ravaged by fire in 1720 but has been respectfully rebuilt, restored and further developed since then, with the latest works adding the Terrace rooms back in the 1990s.

Many of the property’s 40 bedrooms boast stunning views, and all feature contemporary Scottish interiors that have undergone a recent refurbishment. Relax in the comfortable beds, luxuriate in the stylish bathrooms and enjoy the personal touches of Scottish hospitality, all in a wonderfully calm and restful property that is the perfect base for our exploration of this beautiful part of Scotland. The hotel’s restaurant which serves the finest in local, seasonal produce expertly created by a team of talented chefs, overlooks the river and provides a wonderful setting for your meals each evening.
