Where is the show filmed?

Ardross Castle from The Traitors is an 18th-century stately home which is located 30 miles north of Inverness.

It has passed ownership a number of times although the estate was broken up and sold in 1937.

The castle itself (below) was purchased by Mr and Mrs Austin Mardon before it was sold to the McTaggart family in 1983.
