As we entered the grounds to this enchanting castle we passed a large white buddleia plant smothered in many different butterflies. It was fascinating wandering around the ruins of this impressive castle but breathtaking when we entered the Great Hall upstairs and witnessed swallows swooping in and out of the windows and up the chimney place. It stopped us in our tracks and was such a beautiful sight. We had a picnic in the beautifully laid-out garden and enjoyed the sun and unique surroundings for an all too-short time. A memorable and wonderful day.

This castle is mainly a ruin but it is still a fascinating and beautiful place to visit. The gardens are really well kept and interesting with all the different stone pieces that show the planets and schooling. The castle itself is very nice to walk around and with a little imagination its easy to see just how impressive and stunning it would have been back in the day. Also the woman who let us in was so lovely to chat with and she really knew her stuff.

I walked up to the castle while visiting the area,and it was well worth it.The lady at the visitor centre was most helpful and gave me information to plan my way around the castle.Historic Scotland have done an excellent job of allowing people as much access to the castle,while keeping them safe.The garden itself is worth a visit,as well as exploring the remains of the buildings.

The renovations on the castle detract a bit from the ambience, but that is likely a temporary concern. Much easier to access than other nearby castles and provides a good feel for how the structures may have been originally occupied. Definitely worth the stop, especially for those that may have mobile impairment.

The main reason to visit Edzell Castle is the unique (certainly in Scotland, perhaps in the UK) walled garden. The planting is nothing out of the ordinary, but the design has come straight from 1600 through a 20th century restoration. The highlights are (a) the carved wall panels on three of the walls and (b) the summerhouse in the SE corner. To those who imagine Scotland in the 16th century was a savage and uncooth place, here is some counter-evidence. The one small snag is box blight in some of the beds. The only way to deal with it is to tear the lot out, burn, and start again.The castle is just another ruined castle: but it is well presented and well worth a look, especially the west exterior. The small visitor centre now has a very interesting 17th century cabinet door, and has been generally upgraded in the past few years. As usual with small places, Historic Scotland does a good job.Edzell is an interesting wee town as well. Also recommended is the drive through Bridge of Lethnot (turn right on leaving the castle), up the road between the Caterthun hill forts and then right along the road looking down on Strathmore towards Kirriemuir. On a good day this is hard to beat.

Nice castle ruins with interesting gardens - Enjoyed exploring the castle and grounds on a fine sunny day. The area around the castle is grass so recommend a dry day. Interesting artifacts.We all enjoyed it. Toilets available, Water also on sale.

It does it look to much but stop, read and listen to the guide. A fascinating place and some of the stonework reminded me of themes at Rosslyn Chapel. Terribly impressed bytes the welcome and how much was explained even though I had nor bought a guide book. Well worth a visity

Great ruin, gardens are undergoing repair currently so not looking as good as they can. Well worth a visit.

A beautiful red stone castle ruin with a beautiful walled garden and summer house. One can enter the tower of the castle and see three floors worth of history.A joy to spend an hour at and the guide book is worth buying!No cafe and very little in way of a shop, but clean toilets and enthuasistic staff.Entrance fee seems a little dear though one can see the garden had box blight and I guess the upkeep and replacement needs to be considered.

Great old place to see amazing large fireplaces you can stand in! Go on up to the cemetery. All the local churches are open and are worth popping in to see.
