Dunrobin Castle

Visit the largest castle in Scotland´s Northern Highlands.

With 189 rooms, Dunrobin Castle is the largest in the Northern Highlands. It’s also the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and is one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the earls and then dukes of Sutherland.

Resembling a French chateâu with its towering conical spires, this castle is remarkable for its grand architecture and picturesque hilltop setting amidst sprawling gardens. It was also used as a naval hospital during WWI and briefly as a boarding school in the 1960s and 70s. Dunrobin Castle is located just north of the villages of Golspie and Dornoch, overlooking the Moray Firth, and is open to visitors during the summer.
