Castle Trail

One moment you will be in Norman Scotland, the next in Renaissance Scotland. You can let your imagination run riot in dark romantic ruins or in magnificiently furnished castles.

The trail is approximately 150 miles long and can be followed in either direction. At least one hour should be allowed for each property visit. You can even stay in the noblest of northern castles - Kildrummy Castle.

Those properties belonging to the National Trust for Scotland are open during the period May-September with some opening at Easter and weekends in October. Their gardens and grounds are open all year. A few of the Historic Scotland properties are open all year.
