Three Celtic Kings

Three Celtic Kings is a gallery tucked into the Aberdeenshire landscape near Inverurie, where you'll find contemporary work centred around Celtic heritage and artistic interpretation. It's a small operation - the kind of place you stumble into when you're exploring the back roads between Inverurie and the wider Highlands rather than a major draw in itself.

The gallery works best for people with a genuine interest in Celtic art and culture, or those who fancy breaking up a park holiday with something a bit different. If your family's idea of a day out is hiking and fish and chips, you might find it too niche. But if you're the sort who gets excited about local artists and regional history, it's worth an afternoon.

You won't need long here - budget two hours at most, including a wander and a cup of tea if they do refreshments. Call ahead to confirm opening hours and whether there's an entry fee, as details are thin on the ground. What works well is that Glamping Bothie sits just four miles away, making this a natural slot into a Highland stay. The accommodation's highly rated, and having a creative gallery within easy reach adds a bit of cultural meat to what's otherwise a fairly rural corner of Scotland.

Best visited on a quieter weekday if you want the space to yourself and a chance to chat with whoever's running it.
