Rich in and interesting to explore. The and grounds are beautiful. Highly recommend this if you are visiting the area. Cafe and gift shop on site. Really well organised and gardens. This is a real where the owners live in for the good part of the year and you can feel it. Modern "tour guide" technology in different languages is another advantage. Much better experience than the average medieval castle. Absolutely exquisite visit. There are plenty of ruins in the Scottish Highlands and we craved to see one that was still standing. This was everything we asked for. Beautifully kept, amazing and the most friendly staff. We loved that the outdoors was just as nice as the intriguing indoors along with the of the Cawdor family. Shout out to Tony, who was a staff member we met along the self guided tour and gave us an over and above lesson. We could've kept listening to him for hours! Photo of him and us. This capped our memorable visit to the Scotland in the best possible way. Thanks so much! A property still in private ownership, free for members of the Historic Houses Association.
