Castle of May in Caithness, Scotland.The castle has a lovely visitor centre where you can shop for gifts and relax in the well run restaurant and coffee shop. The Castle, gardens and visitor centre have been awarded 5 stars by Visit Scotland and we certainly agree that this should be on your agenda for your visit to Scotland.
The gardens are beautiful and when you consider that they are growing at the north of Scotland, near Dunnet Head, Scotland's most northerly point then is goes to show what can be achieved with shelter - a walled garden that also uses internal hedges to provide a good shelter belt. It also gives credit to the garden staff who lovingly look after the Queen Mother's garden.
