It was built by Royal command from King James III and took years for the oldest section to be built. Once a fantastic castle, one of the main towers were ruined in a siege by Cromwell in 1653. Fortunately, it was rebuilt between 1842 and 1853 but the tower was no longer used as a dwelling; in actual fact it was barely used at all.
The early 1690’s saw a large mansion built on the opposite side of the courtyard and gardens were added, which can still be viewed today. Many people choose to visit the beautiful gardens and Drummond Castle has become world famous for them; they were also used as the backdrop for the movie Rob Roy, in 1995.
