Have been going to the Brechin Castle Centre for years, and it never disappoints. The garden centre is large and has a wide range of plants. The gift shop is also extensive and stocks a range of quality gifts. Finally, the restaurant is large and serves great food at reasonable prices. The centre has extensive grounds which are great for walking and a children's play area. The centre is set in the county of Angus which is very picturesque. Highly recommended!!

A lovely place to take children in general, and especially to celebrate Halloween at the moment. There is a fun Witches Walk through the forest, a spider treasure hunt and lots of hidden trolls, spiders and pumpkins to find. Plus there's all the normal activities and plenty to keep little ones occupied for hours - the mini-golf, playgrounds, football pitch, climbing frames and tunnels, the big digger sandpit, the ride-on tractors and waterway (seats for adults and great for sheltering during any rain showers), the toboggan run and the big go-kart track. Lots of photo opportunities for parents and
