| Dunrobin Castle is located a mile north of Golspie in Sutherland on the east coast of northern Scotland. Seat of the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland, this beautiful castle with a French influence sits looking out across the North Sea and is a delight to visit. With 189 rooms, it is the largest house in the Northern Highlands. Parts of it date back to the 1300s. There are many collections of furniture, pictures, objects d'art, uniforms, china and family memorabilia on display in the drawing room, library, study, bedrooms and nurseries. The Castle boasts magnificent formal gardens designed by Sir Charles Barry. The layout of the gardens were inspired by the gardens at Versailles.
