Board Recruitment

Volunteer Directors sought as Board members for Braemar’s Community Castle

Braemar Castle is a community asset, operated since 2007 under the control of Braemar Community Limited (BCL) Scottish Charity–SC038573.

Built as a Hunting Lodge in 1628 by the Earl of Mar, burnt down during the first Jacobite Uprising in 1689, it was repaired and rebuilt in 1746 by the Government following the Battle of Culloden as a barracks for Hanoverian troops. For the past 200 years, it has been a family home to the Chiefs of Clan Farquharson, who first opened it to the public as a Visitor Attraction in the 1960s.

Since 2007 the Castle has been successfully operated by the community with Castle visitor numbers steadily building from an initial 3,000 to 14,000 in 2019, with 30,000 (non-paying!) visiting the grounds.

The Castle is now closed with work underway on a major £1.6 million “Raising the Standard” project funded with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic Environment Scotland and many local, and national, trusts and supporters. Alongside the re harling of the Castle, this project will further the Castle’s economic and educational potential as an acclaimed attraction with a bold, creative, far-reaching programme of community engagement, activity and learning.
