Not in the very tiny grounds within the walls unless you pay for entry to the castle itself.The castle overall is situated in a field so I can't impinge there would be a problem with a picnic there if it is low key.

Sorry, I should have added that you should expect your visit to Braemar Castle to last a couple of hours. In the village there is a very good tearoom next the excellent outdoor shop, a visitor centre and a couple of restaurants.

Good morning - that sounds very odd - not being able to get in - was that to the Castle or the ground? We're normally very welcoming to people - and dogs! Would very much want to know what the misinformation was. Yes, dogs are very welcome in the grounds. We always keep a fresh bowl of water in the courtyard for them. It's impractical to allow them into the Castle (although we have allowed a wee dog which was carried round once ) but we generally advise that the dog is tied to the cannon in the courtyard and a staff member then keeps an eye on it. Hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you to the Castle.
