Castles in Scotland

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAS : Castles in Scotland


Castles in Scotland is a link page for any castle in Scotland.

There are an estimated 3,000 castles in Scotland, ranging in size from royal residences and large military outposts with hundreds of rooms to simple fortified farmhouses. Many of these castles are now ruins, and some are known only through historical records. The list below is therefore not exhaustive.

Scotland contains many buildings which were built to look rather like castles, but are not usually considered to be castles. These are examples of tower houses or Scottish Baronial revival style. They would only appear in this list if the building was given the title of "castle" (e.g. Taymouth Castle).

  • Mugdock Castle

  • Bedlay Castle
  • Douglas Castle

  • Johnstone Castle
