The Earldom of Sutherland is one of the seven ancient earldoms of Scotland and the Sutherlands were one of the most powerful families in Britain who at one time, were the largest landowners in Western Europe. It is against this great historical background you visit Dunrobin Castle. Standing amidst lush, formal gardens that overlook the sea, this white stone chateau contrasts sharply with the usual dark stone Scottish castles. The original keep is still at its heart and your tour of the castle gives you an illuminating impression of the development of architectural styles over the centuries.


Seeing the state rooms, bedrooms and nurseries gives you an interesting insight into the lifestyle of the Dukes of Sutherland in Victorian times. The furniture, pictures - including some Canalettos - family heirlooms, and objects d'art have been carefully displayed in their original settings, creating a true reflection of Dunrobin Castle as a family home and not simply as an historical exhibit. You'll also visit the Dunrobin Castle gardens, equally as grand as the castle, and modeled after those at Versailles.


Need to Know:

Note: Tour involves 2 miles of walking over stone pathways and grassy terrain and managing 120 steps. Although photography is not allowed inside Dunrobin Castle, you may photograph the exterior and the views. There is a small gift shop for souvenirs.
