Program details
The Scottish Castles hide hundreds of legends. The Castle of Glamis is considered one of the most enchanted castles in Europe, probably due to its connection with King Macbeth. Home of the Lyon family, its members include the Queen Mother who spent her childhood in Glamis. Dunnottar Castle is the great fortress that controls the North Sea.
