Where Was Alan Cumming’s The Traitors Filmed?

Peacock‘s The Traitors is filmed at a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands.  Similar to the previous U.K. adaptation, which aired on the BBC and was a smashing success, The Traitors was shot in the same location. The Ardross Castle on the banks of the River Alness, north of Inverness, is the location, as reported by The Press and Journal. More than a hundred acres of parkland surround the castle’s beautiful gardens, which date back to the 19th century. So, Who gets to stay in the castle, and who gets kicked out?

The majority of the program is held inside the castle and on its grounds, with challenges taking place elsewhere. The Scottish Baronial-style castle, which is situated on the banks of the River Alness and contains more than 100 acres of parkland, served as the first Duke of Sutherland’s hunting lodge in the past.  Numerous lawns and gardens, including the Walled Garden and Formal Garden, have been revitalized thanks to the McTaggarts.

Additionally, Brandi Glanville and Arie Luyendyk Jr. described the interior of the Scottish castle to USA Insider.

“The castle was amazing obviously. It was so visually beautiful; you’re in the middle of these like green fields and everything. Being in this beautiful remote area where you see sheep and peacocks screaming at us constantly, it was just stunning visually,” Glanville stated.

“I think that you know coming from [the U.S.] and then just going to Scotland in general and just having that picturesque background was really incredible. Luyendyk stated.

The McTaggart family currently owns it; they acquired it in 1983 and renovated the estate’s gardens. For opulent business retreats and as a wedding location, the castle is offered for rental.
