edzell castle印象

A fascinating place to visit with a wonderful feel to the ruins and a very pleasant garden to while away time in.The lady in the shop was very helpful.Enjoyed a lovely drive up the Glen to see an even smaller tower house near Loch Lee.

Beautiful traditional gardens, well informed guide (Fiona), well kept grounds. Would have been nice to have a coffee or tea after our walk out to the castle.

A beautiful red stone castle ruin with a beautiful walled garden and summer house. One can enter the tower of the castle and see three floors worth of history.A joy to spend an hour at and the guide book is worth buying!No cafe and very little in way of a shop, but clean toilets and enthuasistic staff.Entrance fee seems a little dear though one can see the garden had box blight and I guess the upkeep and replacement needs to be considered.

This castle is mainly a ruin but it is still a fascinating and beautiful place to visit. The gardens are really well kept and interesting with all the different stone pieces that show the planets and schooling. The castle itself is very nice to walk around and with a little imagination its easy to see just how impressive and stunning it would have been back in the day. Also the woman who let us in was so lovely to chat with and she really knew her stuff.

We generally don't like looking at ruins at all, but this one is quite good. Some rooms intact and it has a walled garden with interesting early plaques of planetary gods, the 7 virtues etc.We have had many examples of fantastic friendly and helpful staff on our visits roubd Scotland, and this was no exception - the lady at the ticket office/shop here was exceptionally helpful and welcoming.Worth a visit but won't take you as long to go round as most of the castles.

The main reason to visit Edzell Castle is the unique (certainly in Scotland, perhaps in the UK) walled garden. The planting is nothing out of the ordinary, but the design has come straight from 1600 through a 20th century restoration. The highlights are (a) the carved wall panels on three of the walls and (b) the summerhouse in the SE corner. To those who imagine Scotland in the 16th century was a savage and uncooth place, here is some counter-evidence. The one small snag is box blight in some of the beds. The only way to deal with it is to tear the lot out, burn, and start again.The castle is just another ruined castle: but it is well presented and well worth a look, especially the west exterior. The small visitor centre now has a very interesting 17th century cabinet door, and has been generally upgraded in the past few years. As usual with small places, Historic Scotland does a good job.Edzell is an interesting wee town as well. Also recommended is the drive through Bridge of Lethnot (turn right on leaving the castle), up the road between the Caterthun hill forts and then right along the road looking down on Strathmore towards Kirriemuir. On a good day this is hard to beat.

Great ruin, gardens are undergoing repair currently so not looking as good as they can. Well worth a visit.

It does it look to much but stop, read and listen to the guide. A fascinating place and some of the stonework reminded me of themes at Rosslyn Chapel. Terribly impressed bytes the welcome and how much was explained even though I had nor bought a guide book. Well worth a visity

The renovations on the castle detract a bit from the ambience, but that is likely a temporary concern. Much easier to access than other nearby castles and provides a good feel for how the structures may have been originally occupied. Definitely worth the stop, especially for those that may have mobile impairment.

We visited this place when it was closed. Amazingly, they try to charge for entering this unimpressive ruin.Go to the nearby Glamis Castle or the Caterans for an iron-age experience. Village of Edzell is quite nice and the Rocks of Solitude are a wonder!
