Alastrean Care Home
Nestled in the countryside near Tarland, Alastrean is home to beautiful landscaped gardens and boasts spectacular views across Aberdeenshire. Tastefully restored in recent years, the building itself has a rich history and has to be seen in person to appreciate its grandeur and beauty.
