What we do? At Drumlanrig Castle, visitors are spoiled for choice. They can admire our magnificent Pink Palace, marvel at the stunning Victorian Gardens, take a guided tour, enjoy the woodland adventure playground, delight in the outdoors on our walks and bike trails, and treat themselves to tasty refreshments in our tearoom or Larchwood Cabin Café.

Taking the lead in ensuring the safety of tour groups, you will answer queries confidently and play a key role in creating unforgettable experiences for our visitors. This is a seasonal role working from April to August, with variable hours mainly to be worked over the weekends.
