Northern Majesty: The Castle of Mey and the Spirit of Scotland

By Robert MacGregor

Perched on the windswept cliffs of Caithness, overlooking the stormy Pentland Firth, the Castle of Mey stands as a symbol of resilience, transformation, and enduring Scottish identity. In Northern Majesty, historian Robert MacGregor unravels the compelling story of this iconic stronghold-from its origins as a 16th-century Sinclair fortress through centuries of conflict, change, and royal restoration.

Blending meticulous research with vivid storytelling, this book traces the castle's architectural evolution, its pivotal role in Highland politics, and its cultural significance within the broader tapestry of Scotland's past. From clan rivalries and Norse incursions to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's deeply personal restoration efforts, Northern Majesty explores how one castle came to embody the spirit of a nation.

More than just a chronicle of stone and history, this is a journey through time-into the soul of the Scottish North.
