Take your vacation in a castle. Plan your castle wedding in the world's most romantic setting. Organise a corporate or family get together in a castle in Scotland. You're limited only by your imagination.
Scotland has many hundreds of castles - all of them atmospheric and laden with history.
Some castles are in ruins, others still function as family homes or as hotels.
Many are in the care of societies like the National Trust for Scotland or Historic Scotland who undertake to renovate or maintain them for public access.
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh castle is probably the most famous Scottish Castle. It dominates the skyline of Scotland's capital city and has seen many of the major events of Scottish history unfold within its fortified walls. Edinburgh castle is in constant daily use and is a major world tourist destination.
Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle sits on a rocky promontary with views open for many miles around. The area around Stirling has featured strongly in the history of the country. Bannockburn - where Robert The Bruce fought and defeated a huge English army is only a few miles away. William Wallace (Braveheart) also knew the area well and often visited the castle at Stirling.
Balmoral Castle
Set in a highland valley with a shining salmon river flowing nearby, Balmoral Castle is the Scottish home of the Queen and the Royal Family. You can visit Balmoral Castle and its grounds when the royals are not in residence.
Many of Scotland's smaller castles are held in private hands and are available for rental.
Some Scotland castle's function as hotels and you can simply book a room. Others are available only if you take the entire castle for a few days stay - bring the family (or the clan!) because some of them are large and daunting.
Rent a Scottish Castle for a wedding or for a special weekend - you'll never forget the experience.
