We have just joined Historic Scotland and this is a place which is free to members. Historically interesting place, and the visit was enhanced by a calligrapher/historian who was making bookmarks. There was also an Easter Egg trail and other activities for the kids. Definitely worth a visit, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Breathtaking castle ruin- much more interesting than Edinburgh castle. You can imagine what it was like 600 yrs ago and they have wonderful games for kids mixed right into the ruins. There were tons of places to explore and almost get lost in and it also has very interesting garden lawn cut in the shape of unicorn heads. The people working there were very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like going back in time set in a field in the middle of the country yet a stones throw from Edinburgh. Turrets and views and dungeons ….not to be missed!

Very interesting history. Loved the yew trees growing inside the castle. Amazing views too. Also an Outlander filming location. Not crowded. Medieval staircases have ropes to assist climbing them. Staff were very friendly.

Step back in time in this castle ruin, with so much to explore and soak in! Well worth a couple hours and something to return to whenever you're in the area. The staff are friendly/helpful/welcoming, and the castle itself is an adventure waiting to be had! Don't just go to Edinburgh Castle and/or Holyrood Palace and then head out of Edinburgh, this place is so worth it!!

A fascinating castle - loved getting to walk around at the top. The views were great from the top. It's another castle that hasn't been "modernized" much, and I loved that. Of course, the Outlander connection was amazing as well.

I visited this Castle on Easter. It was sunny and really relaxing to have a walk with your family or dogs. It is more like a park. Kind staff were giving away easter eggs and beautiful calligraphy for everyone. However it is more like relaxing historical site for locals at weekends, not very suitable for solo tourists.

We came here the 4 of us dressed up for a fun Halloween event. Although it's mostly geared towards children, it's incredibly fun if you get into it. Everyone had smiles on their faces and looked like they had a brilliant time. Loads of kids activities. We're adults but got into the fun by dressing up and having a great time. Would recommend.
