Guest access Guests are welcome to stroll around the grounds which were first laid out in the 17th Century by the ancestors of the present owner. The areas close to the cottages and the castle are kept tidy, the immediate area around the castle is manicured with topiary, sculpture and interesting features. The wider parts of the site have a wilder atmosphere and are home to farm animals and wildlife - many different types of birds frequent Fingask and deer can be spotted most days. Please be mindful that the castle is a family home, and is not generally open to the public. Should a wedding be taking place we politely ask you to avoid the area immediately around the castle and the pavillion. The games room is in an outbuilding behind the castle. It houses table tennis, table football and a snooker table (snooker table not currently available due to covid/sanitising restrictions). The heated outdoor pool is usually open from Easter to October. Specific opening and closing dates are dependent on the weather - if cold it may open later or close earlier in the year. Next to the pool is the tennis court, this is for a fun knockabout (it is not Wimbledon ready!). We recommend you bring your own rackets and balls though a limited selection of used items are available for loan from the office. Other things to note If there is a wedding taking place during your stay, we politely request you please avoid the areas in front of the Castle and the Pavilion out of consideration for the bride, groom and their guests. It would usually only be one day over a 3/4 day period where there would be a wedding. Thank you for your understanding.
