It was an amazing place to visit. I loved every minute that I spent in the castle. First I stopped to enjoy a delicious sandwich and a salad. The coffee and cake was amazing. The restaurant is looking amazing and I enjoyed the time I spent there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The garden is very well maintained and I enjoyed the walk.
Decided to take my two dogs to Glamis Castle on a Saturday. Couldn't have picked a better day as the weather was glorious. Paid £7.50 for an adult ticket which got me into the grounds which includes the walled and Italian gardens. At that time it also allowed entry into an exhibition which was located beside the cafe. The walk around the grounds are well signposted and the paths are well maintained and even underfoot. Anyone with walking difficulties shouldn't have any trouble getting about. The Castle itself looked amazing with the sun reflecting off of it and hopefully on my next visit I'll pay to go on the castle tour and see inside. Even in October the walled garden and Italian garden were lovely. The Italian garden in particularly which was also very peaceful. The dogs loved their walk however had to leave them in the car window open as I went to the cafe. Plenty of options to choose from and the cafe was spotless and well laid out. I found all the staff from the employee at the entrance to the cafe and shop staff to be really friendly and helpful. I never purchased anything from the shop but was tempted by the local craft gin that they stock made by the nearby Glamis Gin Bothy. I had a great experience at Glamis and I will definitely be back to go on the Castle tour
Absolutely brilliant and a joy to visit. Use the QR code and you have your own tour guide. They docents are kind and helpful. Lots of stairs initially but not bad coming down. Fantastic gift shop. Truly a highlight. No ghosts though.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Beautiful castle. There is a lot to see, and you really get close to the history which I really enjoyed. BRING YOUR EARPHONES IF YOU HAVE ANY! The audio guide is with your phone, and it's much more pleasant to use earphones with the guide. Parking and getting around was easy. Really good price overall.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Fabulous day out, fantastic grounds, spend all day there as so much to see and do. The grounds are vast. Loved it, even my pot of tea and Scone with clotted cream and jam. Lovely gift shop. All staff approachable, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Stunning Castle & Grounds.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Long overdue visit, but glad we finally made it here. Castle and surrounding grounds/gardens are genuinely super impressive; very un-Scottish 25+ degrees, sun, no wind weather made our experience here even better.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Love visiting historic houses like this. Glamis is a really impressive castle. Particularly good to have visited somewhere with close associations with the Queen so close to the jubilee celebrations. The audio tour was very good, just the right amount of information! Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Enjoyed a stroll through the gardens.
Self guided audio tour is a great way to see the castle at your own pace. Have a spot of tea in the restaurant or out on the green, then go see the nature path and well-manicured gardens.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Full of history right up to the current Earl and his family and their connection with the Royal Family. The castle is opulent with furniture, decorations, glass, China and paintings of family past and present but there is still that feel of it being a home too. The grounds are just as stunning.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
What a fantastic day out the grounds are immaculate. The castle itself takes you back in time to the early part of the century,many references to the Royal family and the days when the Queen mother was being brought up.The café was very reasonably priced and the food was excellent
