Glamis Castle was the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Her younger daughter, HRH Princess Margaret, was born here and was also frequent visitor during her childhood, alongside her elder sister HRH Princess Elizabeth.
From the warm welcome from our staff and amazing food in our Castle Kitchen Restaurant to the breathtaking tours, walks in the gardens and to the beautiful gifts in our Pavillion Gift Shop, Glamis Castle has something for everyone.
