Glamis Castle, childhood home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother
'A place of legends and fairytales.' Family home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne and a royal residence since 1372. Childhood home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, birthplace of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret and legendary setting for Shakespeare's famous play 'Macbeth'.
As you drive down the mile long avenue, flanked in Spring by swathes of yellow and cream daffodils, or by the autumn colours of the rows of ancient trees, you will not fail to be touched by the magic of Glamis.
Glamis Castle is the royal house that has it all; whether you are interested in ghosts, beautiful gardens, corporate hospitality or staging your Scottish wedding at this royal castle you can be sure you will receive a warm welcome and the best of Scottish hospitality.
Glamis Castle is situated beside the village of Glamis in Angus, Scotland. It is the home of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. and is open to the public. Glamis Castle was the childhood home of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, best known as the Queen Mother. Her second daughter, Princess Margaret, was born there. Since 1987 an illustration of the castle has featured on the reverse side of ten pound notes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Glamis Castle is in Angus in The Vally of Strathmore (as in the song of that name). It was the childhood home of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who married King George VI, and was later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. I restored the photo recovered from a film roll taken in 2001 by my wife Diane.

There is an old story that guests staying at Glamis once hung towels from the windows of every room in a bid to find the bricked-up suite of the monster. When they looked at it from outside, several windows were apparently towel-less.
Very spooky.
Le château de Glamis est une résidence royale depuis 1376 . c’est la maison d’enfance de la mère d’Élisabeth II. c’est le château le plus hanté de toute l’Ecosse, juste à l’entrée du salon de la Reine Mère un jeune page s’assoit sur un siège de pierre. il était renommé pour son espièglerie et en guise de punition il devait s’asseoir sur le siège de pierre. Oublié par une froide nuit d’hiver il mourut de froid. Aujourd'hui son fantôme qui demande toujours vengeance à pris l’habitude de mettre son pied pour faire tomber tout imprudent à son entrée dans la pièce. Ce n’est qu’une légende ou pas...
