Castles can help bring history to life. The great castles are a tangible link to the past, and have a story to tell. But how do you choose which are the greatest castles? Let the people decide! This book describes Historic Scotland's five most visited lowland castles, Edinburgh, Stirling, Doune, St Andrews and Linlithgow.
