Dunrobin Castle, Gardens, Museum and Gift Shop

Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland’s great houses.  It is the largest house in the Highlands with 189 rooms and is one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses, dating in part from the early 1300s.  The gardens were laid out in 1850 by the architect Sir Charles Barry, designer of the Houses of Parliament.  The arrangement of the gardens, inspired by those at Versailles, have changed little in the 150 years since they were planted.  Falconry displays take place in the gardens throughout the day.  The museum houses a collection of hunting trophies and other items including the Pictish Stones which have carvings from 1,500 years ago.
