Dunrobin Castle Dunrobin Castle is the largest of Scotland's great houses in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Tearoom facilities inside and picnic benches outside.

Home to the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland since the early 1300s, the castle is amongst the oldest continuously inhabited houses in Britain.

And just like that, Dunrobin Castle has closed its doors for the 2026 season! 🍂

As another wonderful season comes to an end, we'd like to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been part of it.

To every visitor who walked through our doors, whether you've travelled from across the globe or simply nipped in for an afternoon from Golspie, thank you for choosing to spend some of your time with us. To the tour operators who included us in their itineraries, those who might not have managed a visit this year but have continued to support us through our social media (we see you!), and all the suppliers, contractors and maintenance teams who have helped keep everything running throughout the season, we're incredibly grateful.

And, of course, a very special thank you to our fantastic Castle team, who work so hard to make every visit memorable. From our tour guides and Tearoom team to our gardeners, housekeeping staff, Gift shop team, and Andy and his wonderful birds of prey, there's so much that goes on both in front of and behind the scenes, and we couldn't do it without you all!

While our doors might now be closed for the winter, we'll still be sharing plenty of stories, memories and glimpses behind the scenes over the coming months.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Dunrobin Castle when we reopen for the 2027 season at 10am on Good Friday, 26th March!

Until then, thank you for another wonderful year! 🤍

Happy Halloween from everyone at Dunrobin Castle! 👻🎃

While today might be our FINAL day of the 2026 season, we couldn’t let that overshadow spooky season!

After all, with centuries of history behind these walls, who’s to say we don’t have a few more hidden residents than you might expect… 👀

Have you ever had a spooky encounter during a visit to Dunrobin Castle?

We’d love to hear your stories in the comments! 👻

There’s still time to treat yourself to something cosy in our Tearoom… ☕🍰

Whether it’s a warming cup of tea or coffee, a slice of homemade cake, a freshly baked scone or something a little more substantial, our Tearoom is still serving daily until we close for the season on 31st October!

Why not pop in for a treat during your final autumn visit? 🍂

Is it worth visiting Dunrobin Castle during the autumn? 🍂

We might be a little biased, but while we believe Dunrobin is stunning in every season, there’s something extra special about the colours of October.

The gardens become a sea of oranges, browns and yellows, and there’s really nothing quite like it!

You still have a few days left to come and experience it for yourself before we close our doors for the season on 31st October, reopening in Spring 2027.

With Halloween coming up this Saturday, we think it’s time to address a question we’re asked an awful lot…

Is Dunrobin Castle haunted?

We’ll leave that for you to decide based on your own experiences here, but there certainly have been some strange goings-on around the Castle this spooky season…

A few close-ups of some of the many flowers still thriving in the Dunrobin Castle Gardens this autumn! 🍂

Thanks to the sheltered microclimate created by the surrounding walls, hills and trees, along with the milder coastal air from the Moray Firth (and the hard work of our talented gardening team, of course!), many of our flowers continue to flourish well into autumn, long after they might have finished flowering elsewhere in the Scottish Highlands.

Come and experience the magic of the Gardens for yourself before we close for the season on 31st October!
