INTRODUCTION
In recent years Drummuir Castle has been completely refurbished and the principal rooms have been returned to their original splendour. The fine panelling, tapestries, paintings, furniture and furnishings all reflect the castle's historic past. The grandeur of Drummuir castle gives guests an authentic introduction to Scottish history and hospitality. Drummuir is a private home rather than a hotel and and the supremely comfortable surroundings mean that guests immediately feel at home.
There are 24 bedrooms, furnished in great style. All highly individual, they combine luxury with homely comforts. There are 5 double rooms, 9 twin rooms and 10 single rooms all with ensuite or private bathrooms.
Drummuir Castle is run by Justerini & Brooks, part of the Diageo Group, and as such leads the way in the provision of facilities for guests staying there whether for private visits or for coprorate events. The J & B distilleries are a vital part of the overall perception of quality and style with a unique conference centre and tasting room at Knockando and the other sites at Strathmill, Glen Spey and Auchroisk.

Drummuir is an ideal location, giving visitors a special introduction to Scotland. It is a superb conference centre with a flexible and fully equipped business room. Groups can be catered for in the castle and combined with the facilities at Knockando Distillery, conferences for up to 40 people can be arranged.
Drummuir Castle and J & B's Speyside distilleries are a vital part of the overall perception of quality and style which are embodied in J & B's brands. Visits to Scotland provide the opportunity to forge strong links with the trade and consumer alike, building relationships and fostering team spirit in an atmosphere of relaxation, conviviality and true Highland tradition.
HISTORY
Drummuir Castle was built in 1847 by Thomas Mackenzie for Admiral Archibald Dudd, whose distinguished naval career included service with Lord Nelson.
The Admiral died childless in 1858 and the castle passed to a cousin, who added Gordon to the family name. Drummuir Castle remained the home of the Gordon-Duff family for a further 137 years.
The castle is a splendid example of the Scottish Victorian architectural style. The romantic roofline with its battlements, turrets and chimneystacks is dominated by the 60 foot high central lantern tower, notable for its Gothic tracery.
