Dairsie Castle - Sleeps 11(13)
With it's Great dining Hall and superbly painted murals and designs - Dairsie offers a
unique castle experience. Carefully restored from a virtual ruin as a family home between 1993 and 1996 this historic site
once housed the earlier Scottish Parliament in 1335 and has been visited by royalty (James VI and I escaped here in 1583).
An immpressive and ecclectic mix of works of art, sculptures, carvings and antique furniture help to give the interior a grand
yet intimate atmosphere. The top floor spanning the entire length of the castle is a picture gallery for the enjoyment
of guests.
