Glamis Castle

Glamis Castle is a large country seat in Angus, Scotland, long held by the Lyon / Bowes-Lyon family and open to the public. The present building largely reflects 17th-century fabric with later 18th–19th century interiors and extensive surrounding parkland. The estate includes formal approaches and an arboretum, and the castle contains a small private chapel and a clock tower that houses family archives.

As it stood in 1900

The shape it held in its prime.

A sprawling red‑sandstone castellated house with a central round clock tower flanked by multiple cylindrical corner towers capped by conical slate roofs; crenellated parapets run along connecting ranges. The long east–west façade has many tall chimneys and gabled rooflines, with a gravel forecourt and broad lawns leading up to the entrance. Stone is warm pink‑red; many small mullioned windows puncture the walls. Front towers are roughly 7 m across and the curtain walls are about 1 m thick.
