Our tips for Castles
- Stay and play. Perhaps our favourite development in Scotland’s tourism industry in recent years, many of the country’s castles now cater for overnight guests. Among our favourite Scotland castle tours with accommodation are the Aldourie Castle on Loch Ness, the Fonab Castle and the luxurious Balegno Castle.
- Watch it. The key filming locations for Monty Python, the famous TV drama, Outlander, and Game of Thrones, Doune Castle is definitely a site for Netflix addicts to put on their bucket lists. Thankfully, plenty of Edinburgh castle tours include Doune Castle, so this is a relatively easy castle to visit.
- Take the high road. Head to the Highlands for the ultimate Scotland castle tours. The home of the Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye and countless castles, the Scottish Highlands is one of the UK’s most magnificent and captivating regions, and is well worth exploring.
Good to know
Scotland is not known for its weather. Plan your visit to castles between the months of May to September for the most pleasant climate. July and August are peak tourist times though, so be sure to plan your accommodation and experiences well in advance to avoid missing out.
