Dunrobin Castle, located near Golspie in the Scottish Highlands, is a magnificent stately home that resembles a French château with its towering conical spires. As the family seat of the Earls of Sutherland, it is one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses, dating back to the early 1300s. The castle boasts 189 rooms, making it the largest in the Northern Highlands. Visitors can explore the castle’s rich history, admire its stunning architecture influenced by Sir Charles Barry and Sir Robert Lorimer, and enjoy the picturesque gardens designed in the style of Versailles. Open annually from 1st April to 31st October, Dunrobin Castle offers guided tours, a falconry display, and a museum housing archaeological artefacts and ethnographic items collected by the Sutherland family over the years.
