Description:

In August 2023 Castle Menzies has been chosen as the "third best castle in Scotland" by The Times newspaper!

This is truly a spectacular sixteenth century Scottish castle, restored during the twentieth century by the Menzies Clan Society. Architecturally fascinating, the castle is a splendid Renaissance example of the transition in Scottish castles from earlier rugged Highland fortresses to later mansion houses.

The castle was the seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years.  Situated in a strategic location, it was involved in much of the turbulent history of the Highlands.  During the second Jacobite rising the castle hosted both Bonnie Prince Charlie, who rested on his way to Culloden in 1746 and, just four days later, the Duke of Cumberland, son of the British Monarch and commander of the Government forces.

Castle Menzies has been lovingly restored by generations of Society members and was placed into a charitable trust in 1993. They are open to all as a visitor attraction, a museum, the Clan centre for the Menzies Clan and venue for weddings, concerts and other hire.

Within the castle you will also find The Clan Gregor Society Museum!!!!!
