View of Dunrobin Castle from the Coast Path

Highlight • Castle

Walking the coast path between Golspie and Brora provides a fine view of the remarkable Dunrobin Castle! This unique building appears to resemble either a castle from Disneyland or a French chateau. However, it is the largest inhabited house in the Highlands of Scotland and has been lived in for 700 years.
