There are many Scottish Castles to visit during your weekend break or short break at Knockomie Scottish Highland Hotel.

The most popular Scottish Castle is Balmoral Castle, the Scottish home of the Royal Family. It holds great exhibitions and has fantastic gardens.

The castle is open for a limited period during the summer before Her Majesty, the Queen, takes up residence.

Cawdor Castle is also popular due to its romatic links with William Shakespeare's Macbeth.  It is a superb fairy tale castle with a bit of Scottish history that you can touch and see for yourself.

Brodie Castle is famous for its’ daffodils and excellent woodland walks as well as its' major art collection.  This includes paintings by Dutch masters and is worth a visit.

Castle Urquhart stands on the rocky promontory of the North side of Loch Ness. This castle has fantastic views over Loch Ness and a superb visitor centre.

If you still want to see more Scottish Castles try Ballindalloch Castle. It offers something different again - it is a family home!  The gardens are wonderful and river walks enjoyable.  There is also a great coffee shop serving homemade lunches and snacks to a high standard.

Directions to these Scottish Castles can be provided by Knockomie's receptionist on request.
