Dalhousie Castle is steeped in history and everywhere there are reminders of its rich and often turbulent past. It was built over 700 years ago by the Ramsays of Dalhousie and has notably remained in the possession of one family longer than any other castle in Scotland. The hotel has retained much of its original character. The Library offers guests the perfect opportunity to enjoy an extensive collection of books and also enjoy pre-dinner drinks from the "secret bar". The ancient barrel-vaulted dungeons provide an unusual setting for a choice of fine Scottish and French cooking made from local produce. The Orangery Restaurant offers a bright, airy environment to enjoy a light snack from their extensive menu. The castle is unusual yet beautifully styled with all the bedrooms being distinctively furnished with delightful views of the surrounding countryside.
