Island castle an hour from Glasgow with links to Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots reopens

A stunning island castle with links to both Mary Queen of Scots and Robert the Bruce has reopened to the public.

Considered to be one of the oldest examples of a tower house in Scotland and dating back to the 1300s, the striking stronghold is stunning to behold. Only accessible by boat, the landmark sits on Loch Leven in Kinross, is opening for the summer season for visitors.

With a rich history, the castle played host to royalty such as Robert the Bruce, who came as a guest, and Mary Queen of Scots who stayed as both an invited visitor but also as a reluctant prisoner in 1567.
