Just take a look at Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon’s beloved Scottish retreat, Castle of Mey. Every corner radiates charm and careful attention to detail — particularly the delightful flower gardens that wrap around the grounds. The bright, spacious rooms, adorned with floral fabrics, boast windows overlooking the Pentland Firth, the wild stretch of water separating the remote Orkney Islands from Caithness. “Our interior design aim was to create a timeless, classic style that reflects the special connection between Castle of Mey and the Queen Mother,” said Robert Lovie, Royal Foundation’s communications director. The Queen spent every August and October here until 2002. Today, the castle gates are open to all — you can even rent a room and stay the night.
