Review

When it comes to castles, Floors Castle is truly the real deal. Being the largest inhabited castle within Scotland, it really is a castle that is fit for a queen, or a king for that matter! Having visited every attraction I feature, sometimes twice, I could probably visit Floors Castle and Gardens 5 times and still not see all there is on offer here. Everything about this attraction is award winning and with Powerscourt Gardens in Co. Wicklow, Ireland being voted National Geographics number 3 Garden in the world, if I were judging, the fabulous gardens here at Floors would most definitely be a close fourth! Originally built for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe in 1721, the castle is so pristine, you’d think you’d stepped back in time to the first day it opened its doors. I think it also worth mentioning their wonderful walled garden cafe, whose food is truly delicious and very reasonably priced.
