hidden Scottish castle

Excellent

In Dollar Glen is one of the least visited castles by tourists, yet it has more charm due to its hidden and beautiful location. From its walls the views are spectacular, you can see the town of Dollar and much of the county and Forth Valley. Built in the 15th century this castle belonged to one of the most charismatic and important Scottish noble families, the Campbells. The construction was carried out for three purposes: to host the family, to be strategically defensive, and to impress guests. We can imagine their objectives were more than met, as even today, visitors are impressed. The first thing they ask is how you can make a castle in such a hidden place...

People are still seduced by the wonders of its great location. The funny thing is that it is relatively close to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling, and even still the majority of locals seem to ignore it's existence...maybe it has ghosts and other weird things. Typical in style to almost all medieval castle in the world (although in Scotland they are particularly proud to have many ghosts in their castles ... for that alone it's an excellent story).
