Don’t take our word for how varied these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Armadale Castle & Gardens had to say:

“We had a really good time here. Very nice gardens, loved strolling through it and spending some time on the benches enjoying the view.

The castle ruins have a really nice vibe to it.”

“The castle itself is just a ruin which you are able to walk around.

Entry price includes access to the museum which is very interesting and informative, with items of old island life.

Take a walk round the impressive gardens and check out the views across to the mainland.

Well worth a visit.”
