About us

Set in a Highland estate in the shadow of Bennachie, just over half an hour’s drive from Aberdeen Airport, it’s just five minutes from Inverurie Station with rail links to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Fraserburgh, Elgin and Peterhead are all within striking distance. OUR FACILITIES Nestled in a sprawling Highland Estate of over 2400 acres, Pittodrie House was first built in 1480 as an L-plan castle.

Today it is sumptuously furnished and the ideal backdrop to a memorable conference or AGM. FOUR stunning rooms are available, including the Library which is a favourite of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, the stunning Orangerie with picture postcard views of the gardens – perfectfor a private dinner- the warm Billiard Room and the Ballrrom with its chandeliers and space for 150 guests.

We’re not hardcore, on a high horse about health, or too woo-woo about wellness.
