Drumlanrig Castle is situated on the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The category A listed castle is the Dumfriesshire home of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry.[1] As of September 2023, the castle itself is open to the public during very limited times of the year,[2] with the surroundings, such as the stableyard and adventure playground being open nearly all year round.[3][4] Walking, hiking, and cycling routes are open all year long,[5] unless officially closed due to unforeseen circumstances, such as in 2021 due damage inflicted by Storm Arwen.[6]
