Dunrobin Castle

Dunrobin Castle is the grand seat of the Dukes of Sutherland, with medieval origins hidden beneath a lavish 19th-century makeover. The result looks more like a French chateau than a Highland fortress, with formal gardens stepping down toward the sea. It is a major stop on the east Sutherland coast, but its history also carries the darker story of the Highland Clearances.
