Drumlanrig Castle
Drumlanrig is perhaps the most rewarding and romantic of Scotland’s great houses with its magnificent rooms and spectacular collections of silver, porcelain, French furniture and art - including Rembrandt’s Old Woman Reading. Beyond the house, the gardens extend to over 70 acres and include great formal parterres, dells, rockeries and charming summer houses as well as many impressive trees and a collection of rare shrubs from China. Around the estate, the possibilities are endless. Walk, cycle or mountain-bike on miles of clearly marked paths and off-road trails, spot wildlife (including red squirrels) or visit the unique Scottish Cycle Museum, with its extensive collection of vintage bicycles. In our stableyard you’ll find craft workshops, local food producers and an education and visitor centre. There’s a great gift shop full of top quality foods, whiskies and souvenirs, a thrilling Adventure Playground, bike hire from Rik’s Bike Shed, guided walks and Landrover tours, fishing and other country sports. And when you need a break from all that activity, you can enjoy some delicious home cooking at The Castle Kitchen Tearoom. There’s so much to do at Drumlanrig, you’ll be longing to return…
