Posted on August 27th, 2010 by admin in Scotland Castles | No Comments »

If you look at the back of the ten pound not issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland you will find a picture of Glamis Castle. The plasterwork ceilings are so fine that it is considered some of the best in Scotland. There are many legends that are swirling around about this castle that you simply must see it for yourself.

Glamis Castle is located close to Glamis Village in Angus. It is set in the lovely valley of Strathmore near Forfar, the capital of Angus.

This is the castle that is the childhood home of the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Loyn, and her second daughter was born there. The area that the castle stands dates back to prehistoric times. A Pictish stone was found in a village nearby. 

Glamis Castle is open to the public so you can visit it to see if you encounter any of its legendary ghosts.
