                                                                         Cawdor Castle is situated 11 miles East of Inverness and public
                                                                          transport is available should it be required. To view
                                                                          both the castle and the gardens can take the better part of
                                                                          the day, so if you do not intend to dine in the castle
                                                                          restaurant, remember your picnic for which tables and
                                                                          benches are available.
 

                                                                          The origins of the castle date back to 1400 when
                                                                           construction of the oldest part of the castle, the central
                                                                          keep, was commenced.

                                                                          The visitor can enjoy the castle, which assails one with a
                                                                          powerful atmosphere of Scottish history,  combined with a
                                                                          cosy 'lived in'feeling, not surprising, since it is a home as
                                                                          well as a castle, before proceeding to view the gardens, or
                                                                          perhaps embark on one of the woodland trails or walks.
