About 'Friends'

Friends of Haddo Country Park was formed in 2009 to try to help improve the way that it is managed for the benefit of visitors and to provide a voice for people who want to make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the Country Park.

About Haddo

Haddo Country Park was created in 1979 when the 4th Marquess of Aberdeen transferred 72.9 hectares of Haddo House policies to the Grampian Regional Council.  Aberdeenshire Council now owns and operates the Country Park.

The Park is part of a landscape developed in the first half of the 19th Century by the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, George Hamilton Gordon.   It is a popular recreational resource both for residents and visitors to the area, and is important in terms of its history and natural heritage.

Haddo House itself was built by the 1st Earl of Aberdeen in the early 18th century.  This Palladian mansion was designed by William Adam, and construction started in 1732.  The National Trust of Scotland (NTS) now owns and manages the House and formal gardens.

The Haddo Estate Trust owns and manages the woodland and agricultural land surrounding the House.
