The story

Story · Drumlanrig Castle

You're standing at Drumlanrig Castle, in the south of Scotland, a few kilometres northwest of Thornhill. First, take a look at the colour of those walls. The castle is built of pink sandstone, which is why it's nicknamed the Pink Palace. Really it's more of a grand country house than a fortress. And it's still the home of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry.
