A queen’s spirit is said to haunt a tower in Linlithgow Palace. Legend has it that Margaret Tudor, wife of James the IV and sister of Henry VIII climbed the tower to a room at the top (now known as Queen Margaret’s Bower) each day, as she waited for her husband to return from a campaign in the north of England in 1513. James was killed in the fighting at the Battle of Flodden and Margaret is said to haunt the tower, waiting for his return. I’m less worried about ghosts than I am about heights...

Standing at the top of McCaig’s Tower in Oban and the whole town just opens up beneath you… fishing boats in the harbour, the islands stretching across the horizon, and that golden sunset hitting the water like a movie scene 🌅 It’s wild to think this place was built in the 1800s to give jobs to local stonemasons… and now it’s one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Highlands. Sometimes the best travel moments aren’t the famous cities… it’s random places like this that completely blow you

Have you visited Scotland’s only round tower house? 🏰 Orchardton Tower is the only free-standing round tower of its kind in Scotland, dating to the mid 1400s. It wasn’t a typical choice of tower at the time, and many have come up with theories to explain John Cairns’ decision to commission this. These theories range from Cairns seeking inspiration across the water in Ireland, to mimicking a feature that would normally be associated with royalty 👑 Or perhaps the simplest answer – he just wanted

Scotland’s Colosseum? 🇮🇹➡️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 McCaig’s Tower in Oban might look like it belongs in ancient Rome, but this striking landmark was actually built in the late 19th century by a wealthy banker, John Stuart McCaig.

Balvaird Castle is a fine example of a late-medieval Scottish tower house, built about 1495 by Sir Andrew Murray after his marriage to Margaret Barclay. The name comes from the Gaelic Baile a’ Bhàird (“Town of the Bard”), and the site incorporates earth-work defenses from earlier fortifications. Over time, gatehouses, courtyards, gardens and orchards were added (notably in 1567) and the Murray family held the property until moving to Scone Palace in 1658. In modern times it’s a scheduled monumen
