Cawdor. A magical name, romantically linked by Shakespeare with Macbeth. A superb fairy-tale Castle, and just what every visitor is looking for ... Scottish history that you can touch and see and sense for yourself. Cawdor Castle is not another cold monument, but a splendid house and the home of the Cawdor family to this day.

Cawdor Castle dates from the late 14th century and was built as a private fortress by the Thanes of Cawdor. The ancient medieval tower was built around the legendary holly-tree.

Castle and gardens are open to the public every year from May 1st to the second Sunday in October, daily from 10am to 5pm. Facilities include: licensed restaurant; snack bar and picnic area; gift shop; book shop; wool shop; 9-hole golf course; putting green; nature walks in Cawdor Big Wood.
