Cawdor Castle is a true fairy-tale castle with Scottish history that you can see and touch for yourself. The castle dates back from the 14th Century and contains an ancient medieval tower, surrounding the legendary Holly tree. Often associated with Macbeth, the 5th Earl of Cawdor detested the connection as Inverness Castle is where this piece of history would have taken place. There are many different gardens to explore, a nature trail and even a few shops.
