Fine herbaceous borders, topiary, potager and a garden of wooden pyramids supporting roses, clematis and vine.It is one of the largest castles in the whole of northern highland and comes with as many as 198 rooms. The castle was built back in the early 1300s and is known to be one of the most majestic displays of the finest architecture.As you might expect with such a long history, Dunrobin Castle claims to have a few ghosts. One room, the "Seamstress's Room" , is said to be haunted by the ghost of an imprisoned young maiden who fell from a window whilst trying to escape.
