We didn’t get to go in as it was closed on that day. But we were able to get all the way around the perimeter and the grounds around it. Very peaceful and large palace setting. Plus there is a statue of Marry Queen of Scotts. Very cool entrance and church on the grounds as well. Worth the visit for sure.

Serene, pretty and awesome.. This castle has a lot of history that we would definitely recommend to anyone, to pop over and visit. The castle is still under renovation but the works are part of the attraction as it shows what has been damaged before n what is also being worked on. We wanted to enter but due to time, we decided to spend the time around the palace instead. Serenity at its best. If we had the whole day to reflect and unwind, then this is one of the places to go to. Walking around the loch and palace reveals much of the beauty that nature has got to offer. There are benches as well to just sit back n relax while you absorb the sights n sounds. A thumbs up for the person caring this place. Looks very well-maintained and clean. So ya, go on n pop over for a visit. And ya, carpark is fortunately free and best to just donate Abit for them to sustain the whole place. Cheers!

Really interesting and historically important palace for Scottish history, Mary Queen of Scotts was born here. It's a ruin now but very well maintained with good information boards throughout. Shop, parking and toilets there. Small entrance fee.

It’s so beautiful and well preserved. It’s really big so prepare yourself for a god 3 hours exploration. Lots of stairs if you are like me to go up all the way then get ready. But really it is amazing and worth visiting.

Really enjoyed exploring the Palace. Staff are approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. Got a great workout climbing all the stairs. Beautiful location with plenty of photo opportunities. It's open to the elements so bring a rain jacket and warm clothing if the weather's not great. Can easily spend an hour or two here. No restaurant on site but there is a gift shop and the town is a short walk if you fancy something to eat. Highly recommend visiting. We visited on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy.
