From defensive castles such as Edinburgh and Stirling to fairytale castles with pepperpot turrets and spiral staircases such as Inveraray and Cawdor Castle, or castles famed for their royal connections such as Balmoral, Castle of Mey and Glamis Castle.

Discover how Scotland’s first people lived at ‘Skara Brae’ in the Orkney Islands – one of the best preserved Neolithic villages in Western Europe and part of a ‘Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
