Haddo House

Designed by William Adam for the 2nd Earl of Aberdeen in 1732, Haddo House gracefully blends elegant Georgian architecture with sumptuous late Victorian interiors by Wright and Mansfield. Noted for its fine furniture, paintings and objets d’art, Haddo also boasts a delightful terrace garden. Summer Music concerts will be held in the Library, Drawing Room, Chapel and adjacent Concert Hall.

The house, shop and tearoom are open from 11am to 5pm (last guided tour 4.15pm) Fridays to Mondays during April, May, June, September and October, and daily in July and August. The gardens and country park are open daily, all year round, from 9am to sunset.

Haddo House lies hidden within a vast estate in rural Aberdeenshire, yet only 19 miles from the busy city of Aberdeen with its excellent transportation links (air, rail and road) with all major centres. The nearest railway station is Inverurie, although more services are available from Aberdeen. By road, the house is located off the B999, 4 miles north of Pitmedden, and 10 miles north-west of Ellon.
