This is where you pick up the key to the castle.








 

 

How many of you have held the key to a castle?

 The castle was begun in 1600 by Robert Stewart who was the illegitimate son of King James V. He was given lands in Orkney and Shetland Islands. He became a powerful but unscrupulous ruler.

As with most historic sites, this too can be rented for weddings ect. You would have to check the weather as there is no roof. 

Notice the very thick walls. I think they would help with the temperature, but not completely.
