Kellie Castle

Where Medieval Stone Meets Victorian Elegance

Step inside Kellie Castle, where ancient stone towers and crow-stepped gables echo centuries past, and Victorian craftsmanship brings every corner to life. This remarkable building was rescued from decay in the late 1800s by the Lorimer family—renowned architects and artists—who transformed its interiors into a work of art.

Marvel at one of Scotland’s oldest ornamental plaster ceilings in the grand library, and explore rooms adorned with fine artworks, intricate plasterwork, and beautifully crafted furniture designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, who spent much of his childhood here.

Outside, lose yourself in the charm of the Arts & Crafts garden. Wander along herbaceous borders rich with the scent of old roses, and discover organically grown fruit, vegetables, and traditional planting that reflect the garden’s heritage.

Don’t miss the castle stables, where you can explore an exhibition dedicated to sculptor Hew Lorimer. Step into his studio, faithfully reconstructed to appear exactly as it was at the time of his death.

With origins dating back to the 14th century, Kellie Castle is a place where history, art, and nature come beautifully together.
