Yes I was amazingly lucky to have been there for 5 years when it was a school -I still dream about the place!

In reply to Derek. Were you one of those boys? What a great place for kids to run around in!

You are right, the castle never feels like it was a real home to the duke and family. It did feel a home to the 100 boys that were there 1965-1972 -They made it their home and the castle, in its own way, did it’s best to look after them. Wonderful times!

We visited the castle gardens in 2016 and saw the falconry show. We didn’t go inside and there comes your blog to give us a glimpse. I hate trophy hunting and so, I’m not sad not to have seen these dead animal heads. The gardens are beautiful though.

In reply to Irene S. Levine. It did! That's what allowed us to see the inside on our second try. I don't think it was because of not paying bills. I think it was the high winds.

It’s hard to imagine how costly it must be to maintain some of these old castles. I’m sure they are quite dependent on admission fees. Hope the electricity gets turned back on!

Dunrobin Castle looks like a magnificent place to visit! I’ve not yet had the pleasure of visiting Scotland, but when I do, I’d love to visit the Highlands and Dunrobin Castle.
