About Glamis Castle
Glamis Castle stands beside the village of Glamis in Angus. It is the home of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and is open to the public. The Lyon family has lived here since the 14th century, though most of the present building dates from the 17th century.
The castle was where Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother grew up, and her younger daughter, Princess Margaret, was born here on 21 August 1930. It is a category A listed building, and its grounds appear on the national Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
