You must excuse the contrived nature of the title but certainly Drum Castle must rate as one of the most interesting of NTS properties. Like many castles it has been aded to over the centuries from its inception as a fortified keep in the time of Robert the Bruce who granted the title to the first baron. It is also... More

Great location, lovely gifts etc but restaurant prices need reviewed. Poor choice, food okay but more expensive than some restaurants. Wont eat there again.

Its a lovely establishment and well worth a visit. It poured all the time for us but I should think, on a sunny... More
