Dating from the late 14th century and still lived in to this day Cawdor Castle is magnificent to behold and is a fantastic example of a private fortress.

Fromer Vogue editor, Lady Isabella Cawdor, moves to another residence during the summer to allow guests to wander around her home in amazement. Mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Cawdor Castle has a medieval tower built around the legendary holly tree. The grounds are gardens are also a big draw to the castle.
