Scotland’s Castles - Scotland is a land steeped in history, where ancient castles stand as proud reminders of the country’s turbulent past, romantic legends, and breathtaking landscapes. From rugged cliff-top fortresses to grand baronial estates, each castle has a story to tell.

Why Scotland's Castles?
Scotland is home to over 2,000 castles, each with its own unique charm and history. These castles are more than just stone and mortar—they are gateways to the past, where you can walk in the footsteps of kings, queens, and legendary Highland clans. From the haunting beauty of Eilean Donan Castle to the royal grandeur of Edinburgh Castle, these structures are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit.
