Iconic Castles of Scotland

Scotland’s architectural heritage spans from the 12th-century majesty of Edinburgh Castle, home to the Honours of Scotland, to the 16th-century Renaissance detail of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. This collection includes ancient stone strongholds like Dunstaffnage, island ruins on Loch Leven, and clan seats such as Drum Castle. The list stretches from the strategic border defenses of Norham Castle on the River Tweed to the northernmost reaches of the Shetland Islands’ Fort Charlotte and the Earl's Palace in Orkney, highlighting diverse defensive styles and royal residences.
