castles in Scotland

There are over 3000 castles in Scotland - some have been restored, some are in ruins, some have been incorporated into later buildings, and some don't exist at all any more.

There are currently 1560 castles in the stravaiging around Scotland castles database, but the plan is to eventually add all of the castles over time.

You can see the distribution of castles on the map below, and you can zoom in to find particular castles.

Clicking on a marker will reveal the name of the castle and a link to a page about it.
