Glamis Castle
Glamis Castle has been the family home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and a royal residence, since 1372. It was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth the late Queen Mother and the birthplace of Princess Margaret, also the legendary setting for Shakespeare´s famous play Macbeth. The Great Hall has a magnificent plasterwork ceiling dated 1621 and family portraits can be seen in the 19th century dining room. In 1688 a family Chapel was constructed inside the Castle. The extensive park, landscaped in the 18th century, has an Italian Garden and Pinetum.
