Where Is The Traitors Filmed? Ardross Castle Is Hard To Visit
Even the cast doesn’t stay there.
Peacock’s The Traitors is back with plenty of drama, mystery, and stunning looks from host Alan Cumming. In Season 4, fans have already witnessed backstabbing and betrayal, thanks to a star-studded cast of reality TV alums like Rob Rausch from Love Island USA, Lisa Rinna from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Colton Underwood from The Bachelor.
While the crop of Traitors and Faithfuls may change each season, the location of the games stays the same.
The Traitors Castle Is So Wanderlust-Worthy
The hot spot where the contestants frequent is Ardross Castle in Scotland. The 19th-century castle is located in the Highland region of Scotland, about four hours away from Edinburgh.
It’s been used as the filming location for both the U.S. and U.K. versions of The Traitors, and is also available for weddings. However, it’s not open to the public for visits or available to book for individual stays.
How To Visit Ardross Castle
Unless you’re cast in the next season of The Traitors, the best way for you to see Ardross Castle IRL is to rent it out for a special occasion or attend a ceremony there.
The cast doesn’t even stay overnight in the castle while filming, according to House & Garden. Instead of sleeping over, the crew of Traitors and Faithfuls go home each night to sleep in a hotel near the Inverness Airport.
If you do want to sleep overnight at the actual castle, you have to book the space for your special event, which can accommodate up to 41 guests for two nights. The price is dependent on the season and subject to availability, but according to TTG, a night for up to 18 guests starts around £5,500 or $7,525.
If you’d rather visit the area where The Traitors is filmed, Ardross has some great hiking trails like on Ben Wyvis mountain.
You could also visit Inverness, the area where the cast stays while filming, and stop by Inverness Castle. It may not be Ardross, but the experience at the museum (with tickets around $27) gives you a glimpse into the Scottish Highlands where The Traitors takes place.
Of course, if you’re ready to take part in the actual show, production is ditching the celebs next season for a cast of regular people. Submissions are open now through March 10, so get your applications in and passports ready for some mystery, murder, and of course, salmon.
