Glamis Castle

Glamis Castle is located near the village of Glamis in Angus Scotland. It is the private home of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. While the Earl maintains a private residence within the Castle it is open to the public for tours of the castle and gardens. Dogs are even welcome on the grounds as long as you keep them on a leash and clean up after them.
You can tour the Castle and Gardens from March 18th to October 31st. During our trip to Scotland, we made a detour to Glamis Castle on our way back to Edinburgh from Inverness. It was definitely worth going a little out of our way to see this castle.
Glamis has been home to the Lyon family since the early 14th century. The existing structure dates mainly from the 17th century. It was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the birthplace of her daughter Princess Margaret.
The Glamis Estate is just over 14,000 acres or 57 square kilometers.
In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, King Macbeth resides at Glamis Castle, though in reality, there is no historical tie to the real King Macbeth. You can see intricate wood carvings on the "Macbeth Trail" on the Glamis Castle grounds.
We really enjoyed our visit here and highly recommend it for anyone touring Scotland. Dress warm as the castle is a bit cold inside.
The official website of the Castle can be found here: www.glamis-castle.co.uk

Hey am the stockman at glamis castle. Am gutted you didn’t get any of my lovey cattle in your video. Great video tho. I’ve shared it in the estate WhatsApp 👍

[@Photasma]

Wow! We filmed this the day they opened for the season. We didn’t see any cattle, but my daughter loves animals and would loved to have seen them. Any Highland Cattle? She bought one of the stuffed ones in the gift shop and sleeps with it every night! Thanks for sharing with the estate, I hope we did it justice.

[@KazgarothUsher]

Really enjoyed this - the camera work was excellent. Almost felt I was there! Thanks!

[@Photasma]

So nice of you to say!

[@suewaller8447]

Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into our family’s history. My husband’s grandmother was a Lyon; too her father and so on. We have a detailed book created by a family member, and in my research, our branch of the tree was a Jacobite that arrived in the US in the late 1700s Scotland is on our bucket list, definitely going to visit during a late summer

[@Photasma]

That is very cool! You definitely need to go!

[@rickdeb3793]

Thank you Sue for writing this comment...I too am a Lyon. My father grew up in Forfar and immigrated to Canada when he was 16 years old (1922). I grew up with stories of our family connection to Glamis. I would love to connect with you to share family history. Debra (Lyon) Fremmerlid I will try to connect with you on Facebook.

[@christophert.7635]

Thank you. Your picture quality is so high, that I feel as if I have been there!

[@Photasma]

Thanks so much!

[@user-zn9yv5uy4t]

This is a excellent video. I have been to Scotland but not Glamis Castle. This is well worth a second visit to Scotland.

[@Photasma]

Thanks so much. It was a little out of our way, but worth the stop!

[@angelamarie4137]

It's crazy to think this is the same place where the Queen Mother grew up and now it has a gift Shoppe and Cafe.

[@Photasma]

Definitely. It is still privately owned, but like many of these old castles, I would imagine that they need to find revenue sources to upkeep the castle.

[@mustangsally5051]

Yes it was the Queen mother's early home

[@cepopeye]

@@PhotasmaI heard it’s owned by really really creepy globoHomos

[@humbalapa]

Glamis Castle is our family seat. Our grandfather (Oupa), Jan Lyon, descends from a Lyon who went to Africa and started another branch of the Lyon family there.

[@Photasma]

Very cool!

[@cindyl8507]

I did an ancestry DNA, and Patrick Lyon of Glamis Castle is my great grandmothers ancestors. I find this interesting as one of his relatives was an exiled Jacobite sent to a plantation in Virgina. Where my grandmother was born.

[@Photasma]

Interesting!

[@Ronald7077]

Best tour of a Scottish castle I have ever watched. So informative ❤️👍🇮🇱

[@Photasma]

Wow, such a great compliment!! Thanks so much!

[@gray-fox6789]

Im an Asian, i really would love one day im able to set foot at the late Queen Mum's castle. Such an extraordinary view! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Photasma]

It is a really cool place!

[@MikefromMOMichaelTurner227]

Loved this tour!! 😊👍

[@Photasma]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ccasey1904]

Wow, this is so cool. Thanks for the inside your. Always wanted to go to GLAMIS.

[@jameskeener7251]

More! More! This is one of my favorite video tours of castles and palaces. It tells the story of a class, times, and a family. And tells it well. Thank you.

[@Photasma]

Wow, thanks so much.

[@jennifernixon563]

Thank you.😊

[@Photasma]

You're welcome 😊

[@anneliesesteden390]

Thank you so much. It is lovely. I have Great affection for this castle,because of Queen Elisabeth,Queen Mother!🌹🙏🏾❤️🇨🇦

[@Photasma]

You are so welcome.

[@JamesSmith-ij3jb]

Too think Elizabeth 1st, Queen of Scots, grew up here until 10yrs old. Along with her Mother, who also grew up in Scotland.

[@Photasma]

Interesting!

[@jimm7559]

Wow! I love Glamis castle, it’s history and the people of Scotland. Just a side note~When I was there back in the late 90, we weren’t allowed to take any pictures or video. I’m glad that they are allowing it now!

[@Photasma]

Us to! Hopefully my video can fill in for what you were unable to do.

[@janicetidswell7409]

We visited Glamis yesterday. We were told no photography!

[@kschreiber5856]

Loved this! Definitely want to go here

[@Photasma]

Please do!

[@robertladue7647]

Indeed, God bless Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I!

[@ccasey1904]

I just KNOW there has got to be secret passages!

[@Photasma]

For sure!

[@01Lenda]

Amazing tour! Thank you! ❤🩵🌿

[@Photasma]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fintan3563]

Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. ❤️❤️❤️

[@melindadouglas1673]

I’ve visited this castle and really enjoyed watching this video. It brought back many good memories. ❤

[@Photasma]

So glad!

[@ingridogilvie3664]

I think you only told and showed us all the lovely things about Glamis Castle as people do. There was a mention of the dark side.The story is about the Ogilvy's and the Lindsay's who apparently were always fighting with each other. Then one night the Ogilvy's were being hunted by the Lindsay's and they ran for cover in Glamis Castle .They knocked the door to be greeted by Lord Glamis who welcomed them in.He showed them to a room locked the door and left them to die.Skeletons were found.

[@shurikkupitman5407]

Да, прелесть средневековых замков в том, что летом в них прохладно, а зимой холодно.

[@renedugarte3898]

Very impressive castle thank you for showing us this amazing video well done 👍

[@Photasma]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@vickilindberg6336]

Esp Love the medieval section but yes, can imagine not wanting to get out of bed on cold, windy days. Let's hear it for central heating!

[@Photasma]

Here here on the heat!

[@staceyjohnson3617]

Thank you!

[@xScooterAZx]

Macbeth is my ancestor. He was ran to ground,alone,st Lumphanan where he was defeated and killed in 1057. The grass grows yellow where his blood was spilt. If you go there,it's on the left,down in the valley from the highway.

[@MarieClaireLucaMusic]

I’m a very very very distant relative of Sir John Lyon it’s so cool!

[@Photasma]

No way!

[@user-nw3yk7qj1j]

I was there in 2008: very impressive place, indeed. But, I don't remember much, so it is great to re-visit with this wonderfully made video.

[@kev_infocus]

How were you able to take pictures/video inside the castle? Usually this is forbidden? (apologies if you already answered this)

[@Photasma]

They didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

[@glennhertel1165]

Hey did you make it to the top floor with your Probate Files?

[@dmmchugh3714]

What's the tune on the pipes at rhe start ? So stirring ... Is it true Glamis had its own private hangman for my years ? Has the hidden chamber been located ?

[@Photasma]

I will check into the pipe song. I can’t remember. Not sure about the other questions.

[@zacvines1425]

❤

[@user-tk2ur2xn8f]

Is it related to the novel Macbeth?

[@Photasma]

Yes!

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Is Craig still tour guide at Glamis?

[@Photasma]

I would have no idea. May be worth contacting them to find out.

[@raymonddaniels1658]

The BBC filmed, The little minister and As you like it there in the late 1970s.

[@caracortage3270]

Sure there is nothing left of it, not at cobweb. When did the castle dematerialize? 👿 👿 👿 👿👿 👿 Beautiful grounds!

[@francisbird6290]

Would be nice if U Tube didn't cut the video off short !😢

[@Photasma]

Strange, not sure why it would do that.

[@redwoods7370]

Castle's a wee bit haunted though.

[@Photasma]

I wish I would have seen a ghost!

[@shurikkupitman5407]

Очень бедно, но чистенько. Бесчисленные рога животных не компенсируют отсутствие дорогих отделочных материалов.

[@Red_Pill_Matrix]

Is this where the lady Somerset Belennoff lives ? Head of World Governing Council?

[@Photasma]

No idea who or what that is. It wasn’t something I saw on the tour.

[@avpmobi]

No. There is no such person. Fiction or conspiracy theory.

[@glennhertel1165]

See President Obama

[@elahda.2958]

Glamis castle is dirty disgusting covering. You can cover for today but we all know what this castle was used for.
