Although the House has evolved over 600 years, later additions mainly of the 17th century were all built in the Scottish vernacular style with slated roofs over walls and crow-stepped gables of mellow local stone. This style gives Cawdor a strong sense of unity, and the massive, severe exterior belies an intimate interior that gives the place a surprisingly personal, friendly atmosphere.

As well as the Castle Cawdor offers the three beautiful gardens, the Cawdor Big Wood and a 9-hole golf course. The Castle will be opening to the public earlier this year from Friday 22nd April 2011.
