What we do? At Drumlanrig Castle, visitors are truly spoiled for choice. They can admire our magnificent Pink Palace, marvel at the stunning Victorian Gardens, enjoy a guided tour, experience the woodland adventure playground, discover miles of scenic walking and cycling trails, and relax with delicious homemade treats and refreshments in our tearoom or Larchwood Cabin Café.

The role? Hosting Castle tours, you will bring the rich history of Drumlanrig Castle to life, sharing engaging stories about the Castle’s unique past and taking the lead in ensuring the safety of tour groups. Handling questions confidently and sharing information passionately, you will play a key role in creating unforgettable experiences for our visitors. This is a seasonal role from April to August, with variable hours, primarily at weekends.

The person? As a natural storyteller with a keen interest in Scottish history and an understanding of art, you will demonstrate the ability to talk to people from all walks of life, and enjoy sharing knowledge and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Flexibility to work weekends and varied hours is essential. Due to our rural location, access to your own transport is required, as there is no public transport to the Castle.

Why work for us? This is a unique opportunity to work within the stunning surroundings of Drumlanrig Castle. You will gain new skills and knowledge in a friendly, supportive environment with people who share your passion for delivering memorable visitor experiences.
