Castle of Mey – Scotland Castle Tours
The Castle of Mey, also known as Barrogill castle and is the home of the Queen Mother, the widow of King George the VI. This Scotland castle is so far north that you can see all the way to the Orkney Islands in good weather.
Located in Caithness, on the North Coast of Scotland.
The Castle of Mey was built in the mid 1500s. The castle changed hands a few times before becoming deserted and derelict. In the mid 1900s the Queen Mother purchased the castle and restored it to its former glory to use as a vacation home.
The castle is now open to the public from the 1st of May to the 30th of September every year. You can also enjoy a visitor’s center that was added in 2007.
