Had a really enjoyable experience doing mini-paint ball with family and friends. Staff were really helpful and good fun. Kids ages ranged from 8 to 15 and all enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

This was our first stop in our Tour of Scotland. The guide was really great and really made the castle come to life. The castle itself was fascinating with many great portraits and interesting architecture. Really set the tone for our visit to Scotland.
