EDITORS COMMENTS

This mysterious barrel vaulted room is nestled within the medieval section of the castle, serving as the lower hall where visitors were received and public matters were attended to by the Lyon family. Glamis Castle has been a cherished residence for the Lyon family since the 14th century, although much of its current structure was built during the 17th century. It holds great historical significance as it was also Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's childhood home.

Its monochrome presentation allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze at this image captured over a century ago, we are transported into an enchanting world filled with history and charm.
