Fantastic place in a sunny day. Lovely gardens and plenty to walk your dogs.
Not sure re interior of the castle as we never went inside.
£7.50 to enter the grounds but worth it
Has a nice cafe shop and toilets etc.
Would recommend and very close to Dundee for easy access.
We loved this castle! It was a guided tour, was, entertaining, well versed, and made our visit quite enjoyable.
The tour was at a great pace, gave us plenty of time to look around, just remember once you go inside, there is no photography.
Our guide, I have a great sense of humor, and provided some fun anecdotes.
Afterwords, we were told that there was a kitchen that made wonderful scones, some folks in our group made their way back and were able to buy a few
As usual, the tour begins in the ends in the gift shop on the second floor of the gift shop they have a few antiques and resell items.
The grounds, are picturesque, and exceptionally beautiful.
As you enter the facility, coming down the lane, be sure and stop to take a picture
Stunning place,different types of tickets available just for ground and gardens and aditional for a castel guided tour which i highly recommend. The only option to enter the castle is with the tour . Guide lady was amazing and knows the answer for any question been asked. Beautiful garden and sculpture walk in the forest. And absolutely bonus with the Scottish Cows . Big gift shop on site , restaurant, and ice cream shop
Glamis is the childhood home of the late Queen Elizabeth’s mother. The interiors are filled with family portraits and photographs from the late queen's childhood. Her family's recorded history extends back 1,000 years and is described in a series of panels near the entrance and by the helpful tour guides. The cafeteria can be busy with bus tours but the woodland walks and walled garden are far enough away to be relaxingly quiet. Woodcarvings of Shakespeare’s witches and others are found along the woodland walk. Shop, toilets and car parking are close to the castle. Well worth a visit.
Absolutely loved this castle and the tour conducted by Euan who was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Shame you cannot take photos as its difficult to remember and take in everything you've seen. I actually preferred this castle to Scone Palace. Nice to see recognition of hrh Princess Margaret and the memorial built in her honour. Gardens and grounds are extensive. Lovely shop with beautiful gifts to choose from. The restaurant has some lovely food on offer too. The smoked salmon and prawn salad was delicious. Recommended. Would I like to visit again? Yes and would I recommend a visit? Yes to that too.
What a stunning pile deep in the Angus & Strathmore countryside.
The home of Royalty ..including Elizabeth Bowes Lyons who became Queen when her husband's brother abdicated from his kingly duty.
It originates from 1329 and although it's been changed over the centuries it's one of the most interesting visitor experiences we've enjoyed in 2023.
Very nice castle between Dundee and Kirriemuir. It's a privat property, but except winter months is open every day. You pay some money on entrance. After that you can go inside by car. Parking and guidance tour are included. There is option amazing walk in a couple of parks, good food, coffee, souvenirs. Plan your visit for longer time, a half day would be fine. They close at 4 p.m., be careful with time of arriving. The ticket is not cheap, but it is value for money. You need more time for enjoying of everything what the castle and park with gardens can provide. There was a comfortable surprise for me; we received brief document which described everything in our mother tongue. I suppose when they are ready for Slovak language must be ready for any language on the world.
Glamis Castle is a gem. Twenty minutes north of Dundee you have here the chance to visit a true historic site. From medieval knight armor, antique furniture, artifacts and artworks, clothes and other utensils of its former residents. Among them the late mother of the late HM the Queen, who lived her many years. I liked the large model of the RMS Discovery, a display full of original royal letters incl. invitations to recent royal weddings and the nice cafeteria.
WOW!!!, This is right on our doorstep. We are from Dundee and at the last minute we decided to go to glamis for a tour of the castle. We where so glad we did. Our tour guide (Abi) was outstanding,her knowledge of the history of the castle was 1st class and she brough humour into the tour which was a great addition!. The castle room where steeped in history and you felt this as you walked around. The tour was £16 each for adults which was reasonable. After the tour we ate at the restaurant which was also good,food was excellent. We then and walked around the gardens and they where beautiful,from the river walks and sculptures to the walled gardens. Was really busy with tourists from all over the world,which was great to see. We will definitely be back!
Good day out. From the guided tour of the house. To the walk in the woods with the wood carvings. A wee wander round the walled garden. We even had lunch in the restaurant. All in all a good day out and would do it again 👍👍.
