Itineraries
This 3D model has been populated with information giving you an immersive digital tour of the Castle and gives the chance to explore hidden parts too.
Our audio guide features the voices of four time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, celebrated TV and movie actor Bill Paterson and Outlander’s Andrew Gowar. Let them take you on a journey and learn about the castle and the people and events that stand out most in it’s fascinating past.
You can hire an audio guide device in a range of languages from the ticket office, or pre-book online when you buy your tickets.
You can also use our guide with your own mobile phone or tablet, instead of a headset. You'll need to bring your own fully charged mobile phone or tablet with internet to access it through a web browser like Google Chrome or Safari, and bring headphones if you can. Our signs and staff will show you how on the day.
