Dunrobin Castle

£14activityGolspie, Inverness

A French-style fairy-tale castle above the North Sea. Scotland's most underrated grand house.

£14 per person

Dunrobin looks lifted from a Loire Valley dream, spires, formal gardens and a position above the North Sea cliffs that feels theatrical. It's the largest house in the Northern Highlands and somehow still feels like a secret.

Falconry displays run in summer. The gardens are immaculate. It's far north enough to feel like a proper journey, which makes arriving all the more satisfying.
