Dunrobin Castle is a stately home located in the northern Scottish Highlands, near the village of Golspie in Sutherland. The castle dates back to the 1300s, although it has undergone several expansions and renovations over the centuries. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited houses in Scotland.

The castle's most distinctive feature is its French-style turrets and towers, which were added in the 19th century by architect Sir Charles Barry. The castle's interiors include 189 rooms, including a ballroom, library, and art gallery. The castle also houses a museum with displays on the history of the castle, the Sutherland family, and the local area.

Visitors to the castle can take guided tours, watch the daily falconry displays, or stroll through the castle's extensive gardens and grounds, which include a formal walled garden, a woodland walk, and a falconry-themed garden. The castle is open to the public from April to October, and there are also special events held throughout the year, such as concerts, fairs, and Highland games.
