(of Shakespeare's Macbeth fame and the late Queen Mother's childhood home). Originally a hunting lodge, the castle's oldest wing dates back to 1570. Still, there are no trade-offs here on modern comforts and style. Largely rebuilt in the 19th century, the home's plush interior features ultramodern conveniences - recessed lighting, heated floors, air-conditioning, satellite TV, a sauna and steam room. Its well-tended 40-acre grounds include one clay and one grass tennis court, spectacular formal and woodland gardens, a heated pool and its own 18-hole golf course - for those who prefer shanking their drives in private. Meikloeur Castle is indeed the perfect setting to play lord or lady of the manor.
