Dalhousie Castle Hotel (7 Miles)

With over 700 years of history, Dalhousie Castle is the kind of place that could have been plucked from the pages of a fairy-tale. This ancient castle has a complex arrangement of turrets and towers. Once the seat of the Ramsay Clan, the castle boasts an illustrious guest list that includes King Edward I, Sir Walter Scott, Oliver Cromwell and Queen Victoria. Today the castle’s long tradition of hospitality continues at this fine four-star hotel.

The hotel has 29 en-suite guest bedrooms reached by a maze of staircases and secret passages. Please note that despite their best efforts it has not been possible to install a lift in the castle.

It is the first hydro spa of its kind in Scotland. The Aqueous Spa is a hi-tech thermal suite located in the castle basement, which includes a hydro pool, a Roman-style sauna, a Turkish inspired steam bath and a tropical rain and cold fog shower to invigorate and rejuvenate.
