The Castle & Gardens of Mey

The Castle & Gardens of Mey is based in Thurso, Caithness, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.

The Castle of Mey has a long and interesting history as the most northerly inhabited castle in Scotland.  Find out more about the history and the Trust.  

Constructed on a z-plan, the castle was built between 1566 and 1572. Seen from a distance, its turreted aspect is very striking. The jutting towers and corbelled turrets are typical of that period of the 16th century, particularly the chequered character of the corbelling of the smaller turrets. The parapet of the large turret is supported on winged cherub heads as corbels, similar to those on Carberry Tower, Midlothian.
