Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    My husband and I visited Glamis Castle recently and from driving up the long drive and seeing the magnificent castle in the distance, then receiving a warm welcome from the staff at the entrance we were impressed.
    I was a little worried that we might find a guided tour too long or uninteresting, however I couldn’t have been more wrong. Our guide shared his expert knowledge of the castle and its history while adding some funny stories and tales of ghosts which meant we were never bored.
    Throughout the many rooms included in the tour there is wonderful furniture, paintings, china and military artefacts.
    There are also many photos and paintings of the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family which we enjoyed looking at.
    We had lunch in the restaurant which was very good with a wide choice of dishes to choose from and lovely scones and cakes. There is a well stocked gift shop with quality merchandise and a section with antiques/collectibles.
    Surrounding the castle are beautiful grounds so I would recommend allowing plenty of time to enjoy everything.

    Most informative tour we had in Scotland. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Beautiful gardens and charming shops are on the estate.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and learned a lot. Our guide, Kevan, was excellent and obviously enthusiastic about his subject. We will definitely return for a further visit. Thank you very much for the experience.

    We came across the Abbey whilst visiting from Woodlands Caravan Site in Carnoustie. Value for money at £4 for a wrinklies ticket. Great interpretation boards and short film/history presentation. Peaceful burial grounds to mosey around. Fiona and the young man (sorry I didn’t note your name) who is fairly new to his job were both friendly and knowledgeable 🙃

    Breathtaking part of Scotland and well worth a visit. In particular Glenshee ski resort is a good place to stop.
    Great to drive through and take in the geographical details.

    Its an easy walk from Arbroath towards Auchmithie along the cliff tops, with great views and glimpses of the beaches and coves below. There's a useful little map available at the start to help you to spot key sights. Its an enjoyable afternoon stroll; go as far as you want and then return for different views in reverse!

    A fabulous view. The path is tight, close to the edge with steep drops. No rope or French to keep you safe. So take it easy. Best to not take kids. Dogs, be careful.

    Smashing playpark for the kids and great wee walk for all the family. The hazel coppice and the standin stane were favourites with my older kids. There’s bmx tracks but we didn’t bring bikes.

    A wonderful, friendly tasting experience. The staff were terrific and it was a real treat to chat to the founder - someone so passionate about making her business a success. The gins are fantastic! Especially the raspberry liqueur and of course their famous gunshot. Don’t forget to try their rum as well - it’s delicious!

    Options to head to the beach or follow parallel. In August there are beautiful wild flowers, particularly as you approach the beach. Birds relatively quiet as they are still nesting. House Martin chirping as they hunted being the most common sound when we went.
