Great to go round with the guides - so knowledgeable and they bring the castle alive! On a good day with clear visibility views are stunning. Nice cafe (and hope they get the leaks fixed soon for when its raining) otherwise nice layout. More

If you only see one Castle: See Stirling Castle over The Edinburgh Castle. See my review on Edinburgh Castle. My wife and I liked this castle better, it showed you how living and working in a castle was like. The train trip was worth it you get to see some of the country side and glimpses of the local towns... More

Wind and rain couldn’t keep us away from this castle, but it did deter others and we had it almost to ourselves.

The regimental museum depicts Scottish military and its involvement in past battles. There were... More

The castle itself isn't as big as Edinburgh castle, but it makes up for the difference in size by what you'll experience when you enter the castle. There's plenty of small rooms and larger rooms of course for you... More

The bedrooms in the Palace are just brilliant. Don't forget to watch the heads on the ceiling and have a look to the original ones after it. The tapisseries are brilliant. The kitchen is so interesting. We could spend hours there. More
