Welcome to our website and to our family home. Our family have lived at Glamis Castle for more than 600 years, ever since it was gifted to them by King Robert II in 1372. Since then it has been lived in and visited by many members of the Scottish and British Royal Families. We are pleased to welcome you and hope that what you see here will prove very interesting...
Five miles from Forfar, in the fertile valley of Strathmore, is the quaint village of Glamis.
Glamis is set in the rolling hills of Angus, approximately 20km from the North Sea, in an area of considerable ancient history. Whilst the village is home to a curious old stone, said to be a monument to King Malcolm II, and some attractive eighteenth-century cottages, its most notable attribute is the grandeur of Glamis Castle.
The modern visitor approaching the Highland Castle for the first time cannot but draw breath in admiration as he journeys down the mile-long avenue rich in colour, flanked in spring by swathes of yellow and cream daffodils, or the colours in the rows of autumn trees.
Spires, turrets, towers and statues will seize your attention initially, but there is so much more to explore in this legendary Castle. With its strong links with history, royalty and fiction, Glamis Castle is one of Scotland’s most impressive visitor attractions.
Whether you choose to visit Glamis to admire its stunning architecture, to explore its history, legends and myths or to enjoy the surrounding beauty of the and grounds and gardens, you will not fail to be touched by the magic of Glamis.
Glamis Castle is a popular destination for a family day out or an educational group trip. It provides a venue in Scotland for hospitality events, and a magical setting for weddings.
