2. The Castle of Mey, near John O’Groats
The Castle of Mey was the much-loved residence of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1952 until 1996, when it was gifted by Her Majesty with an endowment to The Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust. As the sole trustee, The King’s Foundation is responsible for the stewardship of the historic Royal property and gardens, underpinned by His Majesty King Charles III’s enthusiasm for protecting the legacy of his grandmother’s home and its ongoing positive impact on the local community. Now a five-star visitor attraction which regularly welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year, the Castle of Mey helps to boost employment and tourism in the local area. The Castle’s facilities include a visitor centre, animal centre, and former granary building which has been developed into luxury bed and breakfast accommodation, a conference centre and a wedding venue. To visit this, check out the newly launched Traitors-inspired breaks from Highland Coast Hotels. | Castle of Mey
