It is one of the largest and most historically and architecturally important castles in Scotland with a tempestuous past. A royal residence for many Kings & Queens it has had its fair share of battles over the last 800 years with the most recent siege taking place in the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion where you can still spot the cannon fire on the castle walls.
