About this spot
In the middle of the rolling hills of Angus lies a castle steeped in history and legend: Glamis.
Just a stone's throw from the charming town of Forfar and about 30 mins drive from Dundee, this majestic fortress was once the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and rumoured inspiration for Shakespeare's Macbeth.
From the moment you arrive, Glamis will leave you speechless. The approach is truly regal, offering the best views of the castle itself as you wind your way through the estate.
