Fox Castle is a restored 16th-century fortress in Angus, a few miles from Glamis Castle. The building itself carries centuries of Highland history; its rooms and layout reflect both its age and a thoughtful programme of sympathetic renovation. Seven bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate up to 16 guests across the whole property, making it suitable for multi-family gatherings, celebrations or extended stays with friends.
The castle provides the essentials: bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are all included. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering, though the grounds include a restaurant and cafe if you prefer not to cook. Open fires warm the main rooms. Parking is available on site. The surrounding countryside offers walking, cycling, riding and golf within easy reach; in winter, skiing is possible in the nearby mountains. Non-smoking throughout.
The setting itself—Perthshire countryside with views toward the Cairngorms—makes this a base for both activity and quieter time. The grounds and gardens invite exploration on foot. You arrive after 4pm and depart before 10am.

Fabulous nostalgic trip to Glamis for both me and my 92yr young mum. She used to do Scottish dancing at the castle 20 years ago, it's been over 35 years since I was last here. There staff are so lovely and knowledgeable, loved the tour and there's a great cafe & gift shop. The grounds are stunning but too much for my mum for one day so will need to return soon.

Fabulous place. Took my friend who is in a wheelchair and the access from the car park is good. The castle had said there was a video tour available on the ground floor for disabled people. It was fantastic. A guided tour through the castle, each room or space with a different guide, all so knowledgeable and interesting tales and stories told. We really felt like we had been around the castle. So well done Glamis, I can’t remember any other places doing this so well. The restaurant is accessible and the menu is very good. You can sit outside if you wish and the is a small coffee, cake and ice cream bar outside. The grounds are accessible but be careful as the paths are gravel and difficult to push a wheelchair on. It is mainly level with a short steeper section to the kitchen walled garden. The shop has lovely things, too tempting! The main highlight was the staff who were so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

Very cool guided tour in this royal castle. It has a rich history up until today and is only visitable with tickets. You can however eat there without entry fee. Our guide was a really good performer with Scottish / Italian roots which was perfect for the tour (without telling too much). He did an exceptional job 👌😀

Nice day out with my adult daughter - the weather was kind so we did the circle walk through the wood and garden, very beautiful. Had lunch in the restaurant - good variety of food stuffs and reasonably priced. Great gift shop too and the antique floor is always worth a browse (I started my Christmas shopping!!) All in all - this is a nice day out and worth the price of admission. We might do the castle tour another time.
