Did you notice the finer details during your visit to Dunrobin Castle?

Not only does the Night Nursery offer a cosy and warm space that may be a few of our younger (and older!) visitors would like to take advantage of, but it’s also covered in beautiful hand-painted Sicilian wooden furniture. These were brought back by the 4th Duke at the end of the 19th century, after spending a winter in Italy while recovering from bronchitis. Maybe a slightly more extravagant gift for his children than just a postcard!

The formal gardens at Dunrobin Castle were laid out in 1850 by Sir Charles Barry, inspired by the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles. Today, stunning floral displays are framed by the Castle's towering turrets, creating a setting that feels like something straight out of a fairytale.

A slightly different experience when visiting Dunrobin Castle over 130 years ago!

This original notice, displayed at the Castle in 1895, informed visitors that they had to apply to the gardener at the Garden House for permission to explore the gardens and grounds. Visits were also restricted to certain times of the day, with the terraces around the Castle remaining private while the Duke and his family were in residence.

Thankfully, things are a little more relaxed today! Visitors are free to explore almost the entirety of our beautiful gardens at their own pace.

If you'd like to plan your visit in advance, tickets can be booked online, or you're very welcome to purchase them at our front desk on arrival.

Our Falconry Displays return as normal today, taking place at 11:30am and 2:30pm.

We thank you for your patience. 🦅
