Castles in Scotland
Scotland is famous for her castles and justifiably so. WhichCastle.com
highlights some of the best castles in Scotland - the most famous
Scottish castles are featured as well as some more unusual ones.
Medieval towers and keeps are what most people
think of when they have an image of a traditional Scottish
castle, but of course there are many other styles of castles and
castellated mansions in
Scotland too.
Many Scottish castles are now tourist attractions and open to
the public - so you can visit romantic ruins or well-restored Border
keeps. A lot are in the care of The National Trust for Scotland or
Historic Scotland. Some castles are now hotels and so have of course
been restored to great comfort - the
architectural purity may have been slightly lost along the way but they
are still wonderful buildings to visit or stay in. Many
privately-owned castles are available to hire for a wedding or a party
- having a wedding in a Scottish castle is very popular as it is a
quintessentially romantic location.
Some castles in Scotland are still owned and lived in by the original
family (or clan chief) that built them all those centuries ago when
they were defending their
lands. If you are coming to Scotland and want to visit your ancestral
seat then you may find it still lived in by the clan chief or it may
just be a few stones in a field.
