Not sure what was happening when we went there for the day, but it was closed with no sign saying why it was closed. It was summer and I’m in the middle of the afternoon. I have been before and really enjoyed the visit. It’s a great place to take kids and you can have a picnic. Where are you there?

Great castle. The last medieval built castle in Scotland. There is not always a roof but we had a great guide,Phil, who showed us around and painted the history of the castle. Great free tour.

It was quite when we arrived so we could explore this awesome castle as long as we wish. The woman who greeted us (sorry forgot her name) was such a help and took the time to inform us about the castle and made us feel more then welcome. Great history and job well done to keep it alive. Really worth a visit!

First visit to this castle. Lovely location, with the Nethan Gorge next to it. Plenty of spiral staircases, cellars and high views over the countryside. From the car park, you go downhill to castle. You can walk round the castle and under it. Spiral staircases have rope or metal rails. For those less able, there is still plenty to walk round. And benches to rest on. There is very clean toilets. A shop to pay your entrance sells some gifts and snacks. After visiting the castle, I took a walk to the Gorge viewpoint. This is reached via irregular sized steps down and then up. Worth it for the view. There is also a walk posted on the board. It was definitely a work out for me.

Absolutely beautiful, a hidden gem. Great place to take the children and dogs allowed to as long as they are on the lead. We will definitely return.
