Abergeldie Castle is a four-floor tower house located in Crathie and Braemar parish, SW Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It stands at an altitude of 840 feet, on the south bank of the river Dee, 6 miles above Ballater, and about 2 miles east of the royal residence of Balmoral Castle. Behind it rises Craig-na-Ban, a rounded granite hill about 1736 feet high, and across the river to its front is the cairn-crowned Geallaig, rising to 2439 feet.

The Queen's neighbour in Balmoral has had to leave his historic 450-year-old castle as it is threatened by rising flood waters.
John
Seton Howard Gordon, whose 11,687-acre Abergeldie estate is enclosed by
Balmoral on three sides, had to flee the castle as it was 'teetering on
the brink'.
It sits alongside the River Dee which was turned into a raging torrent after Storm Frank battered Scotland.
As the river burst its banks, it left the castle just feet away from the water's edge.
