smm0218 Posted October 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2017 If you have been to Stirling Castle and Calzean Castle which would you recommend visiting? From what I have read they are very different. I can only visit one in the time we have. 7am to 6pm so really 8-8:30 to about 4:30. And if you have a tour suggestion that would really be great.

Hatters cruiser Posted October 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I found Stirling Castle an excellent place to visit, it's a true castle built in the Middle Ages as a fortress that later became a Royal Palace. The palace rooms are a fascinating place to visit and with a real sense of history. The regimental museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders is also in its walls. Culzean castle is not a real castle, I have never been there but it's an 18th century great house built with some exterior styling of a castle. It will have all the trapping associated with such a building. It depends on what intrests you and your party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozscotart Posted January 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Stirling Castle is the most castle-like non ruined castle in Scotland imo. Culzean is really a grand house, very interesting for its elegance and historical associations. I personally recommend Stirling to all our visitors, it’s nicely restored with interesting displays and sometimes re-enactments and helpful staff.

smm0218 Posted January 23, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Choose to go to Invernary instead of either. Thanks Sandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmaia Posted January 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Castle,_Port_Glasgow There is a castle about 5 miles north of the port of Greenock if you choose to do some sightseeing in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
