Very close to Ross and easily located..Unlike a lot of castles this one has not been "tarted up" with paintings and furniture but left in the raw and is more impressive for it.Very atmospheric.Good parking and facilities.

One of the best castle visits I have ever done. The audio tour was very informative and added to the enjoyment of our visit. It was pouring with rain at the time but we still enjoyed it!

Enjoyed greatly helped by audio tour - nice factilies and good car park although you have to pay & display and then get your money back at the ticket office - why not just make it free to park as you get a full refund.
