You can expect:
- A grand and lavish interior - think spiral staircases, clawfoot baths, huge roaring fires, palatial bedrooms with canopy four-poster beds - all protected against rival clans (and the Scottish weather) by 4-foot-thick walls.
- On-site activities fit for a king or queen - from luxury spa facilities and falconry displays, to traditional country pursuits such as salmon fishing and horse riding through the castle grounds.
- Fine dining restaurants and cosy whisky bars. Some castle hotels in Scotland even have dining rooms in the castle's dungeon, meaning you can dine surrounded by suits of armour for an authentic evening.
- A fascinating history - Scotland's castles always have a quirky tale or two to discover - from royal visits to clan connections - and maybe even a ghost or two!
