Dalmunzie Castle

Dalmunzie Castle is a stunning former Laird’s mansion, turreted in the Scots Baronial style and standing proudly at the head of a 6500-acre estate dating back to 1510. The castle is nestled in the heart of Glenshee and is surrounded by breath-taking mountains, glens and little rivers all a few steps away from the front door. Peace and tranquillity is a feature of life at Dalmunzie, with fires and lounges contributing to a relaxing haven from the outside world.

"It was so calm and so solitary...all seemed to breathe freedom and peace, and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils."
Queen Victoria’s diary, 1848, en-route to Balmoral via Glenshee

Bedrooms

The bedrooms at Dalmunzie Castle are all individual in style, decoration and theme and all enjoy an aspect of the stunning mountain scenery, golf course or surrounding lawns. All bedrooms are located throughout the castle, in the original hunting lodge, oak tower or Victorian & Edwardian wings.

The bedrooms are designed to reflect Dalmunzie’s original purpose as a relaxing retreat for the laird and his family in this beautiful part of Scotland, with no two bedrooms the same. Each bedroom is named after a family/clan, which has played an important part of Dalmunzie’s history over the last 500 years.
