An Afternoon in the Archives at Glamis Castle

Glamis Castle has a rich and diverse archive dating back to the 12^th century, documenting the lives of not just the Strathmore family, the Castle and Estate, but also a wide spectrum of society.

Join our Archivist, Ingrid Thomson, on Tuesday 9th April for an insightful afternoon inclusive of a cream tea and entrance to our 2024 Sustaining Glamis Exhibition before climbing 92 steps to the Castle Archives to view a selection of treasures.

Documents displayed will include 17^th century medicinal and culinary recipe books, early royal charters, Visitors’ Books (which include the signatures of Queen Elizabeth II from ‘Lilibet’ as a child to ‘Elizabeth R’ as Queen, and Strathmore family photographs), 18^th century clothing and shoes, family diaries and journals, and other fascinating records. Visitors will have ample opportunity to ask questions and request further research.
