Scotland’s castles are spread the length and breadth of the land and range from remote and austere tumbledown relics in far-flung glens to magnificent, hilltop fortresses which have withstood all that nature and man has thrown against them.

   This handy pocket guide is specifically designed as an easy-to-follow reference to those castles which can in some way accommodate visitors wanting to know a little more about them.

   Every castle carries full details regarding location, map references, ownership status, telephone number and website. Opening times are included, with information on membership of wider groups, such as Historic Scotland, National Trust for Scotland and Historic Houses Association.

   Also listed are various castles that are in ownership of public trusts or charities but which are not currently open, but in many cases exterior visits are possible.

   There follows a brief historical account of the building, architectural details and what the visitor might see on their visit.

   This is an essential and comprehensible guide book which all lovers of Scotland should have.
