A SCOTS castle which is said to have been an inspiration for Walt Disney has been named the UK's top destination of the year. Craigievar Castle near Alford, Aberdeenshire was top of Lonely Planet's list of the top ten lesser known UK destinations to visit in 2021. Pink-coloured Craigievar is said to have been an inspiration for Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle and its finely sculpted multiple turrets, ornate corbels and carved stonework have even attracted royalty - including Queen Victoria. Now the castle, set in rolling hills and beautiful woods has come out top of the list created by the top travel guide and Sony Xperia 5, which created a photo series of the castle.
