💡 My Top Tip: There is a lot of history with this castle and it’s a great place to learn about the clan and the history of the highlands. Don’t hesitate to ask the members of staff and volunteers some questions as they will tell you some fantastic stories.
❤️ I loved chatting with the staff and one of them mentioned some torture methods that were used and while I was pretty shocked by it, I thought it was very interesting to know especially since it’s not mentioned anywhere else. On a completely different note, I also love the rhododendron woodland trail. It felt very magical and looked like something out of Game of Thrones.
🐶 Dogs are allowed in the gardens but not in the castle.
