    It’s not everyday that Outlander star Sam Heughan visits The National Wallace Monument! It was a lovely surprise yesterday afternoon – we just couldn’t resist getting a picture #WallaceMonument #SamHeughan #Outlander

    Happy birthday to Robert the Bruce, who was born #OTD in 1274! This image beautifully captures one great monument looking over another.

    A nod to Robert the Bruce whose statue is proudly standing on our esplanade to this day and who was crowned King of Scots #OTD in 1306. And a virtual wave to our friends at @TheWallaceMon, who are just the right distance away 👋

    We are delighted that the @ArgyllsMuseum is now open and we were honoured to welcome a very special guest yesterday to re-open the regimental museum at the castle.

    There's nothing like the sun shining through the stained glass windows of our Great Hall on a cold winter day.
