Castle of Mey
Highland | John o' Groats | Stately home | ★★★★
[Castle of Mey from its gardens] |
With stunning gardens and an open farm, this is comfortably one of northern Scotland's best man-made attractions. And the castle hasn't even been mentioned yet! The Castle of Mey is the "Queen Mother's castle": although originally constructed by the 4th Earl of Caithness, it was eventually bought by Her Majesty the Queen Mother in 1952. The subsequent renovations and restorations she oversaw contribute to a fascinating visitor experience - it's a popular destination, but deservedly so.
