In line with Government advice, we have decided not to re-open the Castle as planned on the 1st April. We will continue to review the situation but at present are anticipating closure through until at least the end of June. We plan to keep in touch on Facebook, on Twitter and Instagram so do log in and join us on-line. In the meantime, from the Castle team, keep safe and we look forward to resuming normal service in due course.

For all its prominent position at the top of a hill , this piece of history is rather overshadowed by its neighbouring north east castles. It is well worth a visit. The guided tour gave us a comprehensive run down on its past over the...More

Not sure what I expected when we parked up, but stepping out of the trees it was lovely to behold the Castle. Picturesque against the mountains we wandered around from beautiful room to room. We were also given our own audio guide so we could...More

Battle of Inverlochy Castle in 1431. The MacDonalds attacked the camp of the Earls of Mar and Atholl who were loyal to King James I of Scots. Battle was confused both parties withdrew unsure who had won. The Earl of Mar fled bare foot and horseless to his Castle of Kildrummy. https://t.co/hJwGFce5ly
