The Michelin Guide's review
Sir William Bruce built Earlshall in 1546, and Robert Lorimer had it restored in 1891. Carried out between 1617 and 1620, the painted ceiling of the second-floor gallery is interesting; its black and white decor includes the coat of arms of Bruce, and of Scottish royalty and noblemen, as well as a large number of animals linked together with geometrical patterns. The superb gardens around the castle were laid out according to a design by Robert Lorimer (17C) in 1890.
