OMG.....Gin lovers should absolutely give this a go, and Gin Haters should definitely try it!! We went just after Lockdown in the pouring rain, but it never dampened the visit!! Everything is on the level so if you are like me with mobility issues (on Crutches) then its easy accessed, may pose a bumpy problem for wheelchair users but I'm sure the taste of the gin will more than compensate for the bumps....lol we had Kim as our guide (founder of the Bothy Experience) and she was amazing, told us all about the methods in gin making, if this was a non covid visit she would have sang a few songs in the session too. All the staff are super friendly, and I can honestly say we will be back, its a great place to take visitors, or even just a wee day out to Glamis!! Whats also amazing is if you have a Driver, then they too still get the tasting experience as they take home a wee gin goody bag!!

We went here on Friday 27th September 2019 as a group of 4 made of 2 couples we had a wonderful time. Having already tasted the vodka it was great to see where it all begins from the potato to the vodka. Caroline was a fantastic host also Graeme got in on it to they are a great double act very passionate about their product. I would recommend you do this tour and drink the vodka it is all first class there also do ready made cocktails and other amazing drinks. Thanks again guys for a smashing afternoon

2019 Opening Times - March 30th - December 19th Witness to over 1000 years of history in the heart of Angus is the stunning and historic Glamis Castle. Ancestral seat to the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, inspiration for Shakespeare's Macbeth and childhood home of H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Glamis Castle has witnessed a wealth of history. Throughout our open season expert guides will help visitors follow in the footsteps of Mary, Queen of Scots, James V, Bonnie Dundee, the Old Jacobite Pretender to the throne James VIII, the ill-fated Janet Douglas and of course tell the story of the bitter-sweet life of Mary Eleanor Bowes. See our gardens and grounds flourish in the Summer months, visit our Gift Shop for some inspirational gift ideas and be served scrumptious delights from the Victorian Kitchen Restaurant.

I was very interested to visit HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's childhood home and the place where the late Princess Margaret was born. Despite its imposing stature Glamis Castle is a very homely place. It was one of the first houses tin the UK to have central heating installed and so it was warm and cosy too. Hundreds of years of fascinating history of Scotland are told in the house and it was nice seeing casual photos of our Royal family 'at home' enjoying life inside their grand house. Outside, there is a well stocked walled garden, a beautiful Italian garden and pet cemetery, a memorial to Princess Margaret and a MacBeth Walk with wooden statues of characters from the Shakespeare story that was set in Glamis Castle and its grounds. The Castle has the comfortable feel of a private home and indeed, the 19th Earl of Strathmore still lives there.
