A taste of history
History! Perhaps the biggest reason people love to visit castles is that they have such a rich and varied past. Many of the castles in Angus (and the surrounding areas) have histories that date back hundreds of years, some to medieval times.
Almost all have links to kings and queens in times gone by. Some have bloodied pasts, and some have very recent royal connections, such as Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the Queen Mother, and also the birthplace of Queen Elizabeth II’s sister, Princess Margaret. Can you imagine staying in a bedroom that may once have been slept in by royalty?
