After the thrills of the battlefield, we move on to the romantic Highland landmark that is Cawdor Castle. If fairytale Scottish castles are your thing then they do not come more beautiful than this 15th century home of the Thanes of Cawdor.
This centuries-old dwelling is full of romantic wonder, housing an impressive drawing-room with precious portraits of clan members adorning its walls and an antique dining room and kitchen that still holds many of the features from a Highland life alien to modern-day living.
The Castle is neatly nestled into an expansive, carefully clipped and cropped grounds which encompasses three stunning gardens, a luxurious forest, a challenging 9-hole golf course, and a terrific restaurant located in the castle itself.
