A pick of the best castles for faithful fans of The Traitors

The hit BBC series The Traitors is back, this time with a line-up of celebrities. From comedians and actors to authors and athletes, each has swapped stardom for strategy, taking up residence in a magnificent Scottish castle. 

The show’s atmospheric setting – all candlelight, cloaks and corridors – is as much a character as the contestants themselves, reminding viewers just how powerfully a castle can stir the imagination.

At Savills, we understand that fascination. From grand historic fortresses and rustic towers to luxurious estates and characterful apartments tucked within ancient walls, our castle portfolio spans the UK and Europe.

Castles continue to captivate visitors on the Savills website, with August and September marking two of our highest-traffic months on record – drawing over 360,000 visits. So, what makes a castle so captivating?

Once built for protection, castles have evolved into lasting symbols of romance and prestige. Their commanding silhouettes, storied pasts and sense of permanence continue to enchant. Today, many have been thoughtfully modernised for contemporary living, or converted into apartments/wings, blending grand architecture with comfort and convenience.

In celebration of The Celebrity Traitors and the renewed spotlight on these remarkable homes, we’ve curated a selection of the finest castles currently for sale in the UK and overseas – each the perfect home for the faithful.
