    The major structure of the castle is intact so you can still go up to the top and down into the depths, but nothing has been re-created so it has a ghostly, eerie feel to it. One of my favorite castles in Scotland, and much less crowded!

    Great 600 year old ruins. On the historic Scotland pass. one of our favorites out of 11 castles we visited
  • By Nicole Bugmann
    It was a pleasure to visit this old castle. It is a ruin now, but you can walk through the different rooms and you need just a little bit of imagination to see how it was in the past. Another positive thing: it isn‘t crowded with tourists

    I love visiting castles. Tickets were cheap. Cute little tourist shop. 5 floors to visit yourself without someone constantly around to chaperone you so you don't feel awkward like in some castles.

    Kinda expensive per entry. But, that said, thoroughly enjoyable time spent there with the kids. Only mildly terrifying on the top levels! Enough of the structure is preserved to really get a feel of how it must have been in its day. Worth a visit. Once.
