Spynie Palace was for five centuries the residence of the bishops of Moray. More of a castle than a palace, the Spynie is one of the largest surviving mediaeval bishop's houses in Scotland. The bishops offered hospitality to many important guests including royalty – James I, James II and James IV all stayed here.The site is dominated by a massive tower built by Bishop David Stewart in 1462-77. From the top there are spectacular views over Spynie Loch. Shop, picnic area.
