IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note that in the interest of Public Security and in consultation with Police Scotland we have introduced a number of new Security Protocols. Small Backpacks and Rucksacks are not permitted within the castle and should be left in your vehicle. For people arriving to site on public transport with no vehicle, we now offer a coin-operated secure locker facility close to the visitor centre. We do operate a random bag-search policy, and as such you may be asked to open your bag for inspection before entry. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
