Castles: Castle of Mey in Scotland

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Castle of Mey, built in the late 1500s, is located in Caithness in northeast Scotland. The castle was home to the queen's mother, and she spent a lot of her time at the castle. Gardens and a petting zoo can be seen at the castle. There are also daily guided tours, and the guide that we had told us a lot of interesting information and insight into the royal family and the queen's mother.

The castle lay in ruin for many years before it was discovered by the queen's mother and purchased, and she regularly visited until her death in 2002.
