Cawdor Castle is a historic fortress located in the village of Cawdor, near Nairn in the Scottish Highlands. Renowned for its picturesque gardens and rich history, the castle is traditionally associated with Shakespeare's tragedy "Macbeth," although the real-life connection is more symbolic than factual. Built around a 15th-century tower house, Cawdor Castle has been the home of the Cawdor family for over 600 years. Visitors can explore its beautifully preserved rooms, filled with antique furniture, fine art, and tapestries, as well as take a stroll through its lush grounds and gardens, which include a walled garden, a flower garden, and a wild garden.
