Our favorite castle of the trip! So much of the original structure and interior painting remains! Truly like stepping back 500 years. We also liked the kind and helpful woman working at the ticket desk. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommended.

A great example of a tower, with a bonus, there’s two of them. Entry is by a small road with a car park that tries to maximise the number of cars by having diagonal parking bays. The idea is to drive right up into the castle ground and turn around before parking. Means just reverse to get out. If you do reverse park instead you need free space to do a 5 point turn or more to get out. Alison in the ticket office is great, enthusiastic and informative as well as helpful. A little shop there (of course) and a toilet block. The whole castle is open, top to bottom. The best is great hall with painting ceiling and walls in parts. Quite a climb up both towers on circular staircases with handrails. There are panels to explain the most important features and events. There is a doocot (dovecote ) at top of one tower. Unusual to have one actually in the castle.

This is an amazing little castle. I love that you can go everywhere and imagine how life must have been 500 years ago. Terrific wooden ceilings. Steep and narrow staircases. Fantastic. The host, Allison was great. She gave us a few historical facts. We bought the Historic Explorer Pass for £44 each, which gives you free access to multiple Castles incl this one. Simply a better deal.

Huntingtontower Castle is another place with a great story and some interesting architectural aspects. We visited on a Thursday at about ten after noon, and it wasn't busy at all. We were the only visitors for most of our time there. You can buy a guidebook at the entrance for about £7, or £8 if you adding a donation. We donated.. it's a great little castle and they maintain it well. Maybe it was the smaller size or the solitude, but it's a place that really gets you thinking about how people must have lived and what went on there.

We got here early (around 10.30)so we had the place to ourselves, which was brilliant. The castle itself is a typical small Scottish castle but with some unique features. There are stairs to all levels of the castle, including the roof. The lady in the shop was most friendly and informative. We spent about an hour here

Not the biggest of castles but this did not disappoint me in any way. What a magnificent place to visit.

Lovely. Staff are very friendly. Good facilities and amazing views. The car park isn't the easiest but they didn't have cars back then!

A really well looked after site and iinteresting castle and story on how it was built as two separate towers and then joined together at a later date. Amazing history, including royal kidnap, attempted and successful assassinations and the beheading and downfall of one family during the infighting between Protestant and Catholic interests.
