Haddo House is a handsome Georgian mansion designed by William Adam and now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. It sits about 8 miles south-east of Fyvie and is easily combined with a visit to Fyvie Castle. The interior has fine furniture, family portraits, and a private chapel. The terraced gardens and the designed parkland around the house are pleasant to walk.
The Haddo Arts programme runs opera, concerts, and theatre in the house and its grounds during the summer months — performances can be booked directly with the estate. The combination of high-quality music in a working country house setting is genuinely unusual. Check the Haddo Arts website before visiting to see what is on during your dates.
