Historically, the castle has been largely self-sufficient, with fruit and vegetables grown in the kitchen garden, as well as game, livestock, farming, and forestry on the estate. Staff and tradespeople have played a key role in sustaining the residents of Glamis from servants, cooks, gardeners, game keepers and foresters, to local farmers and merchants.

There are many interwoven strands involved in sustaining Glamis Castle and its estate from the past to the present, focusing not just on survival, but also quality of life, nature, and conservation. Further information and exhibits, including 17th century medicinal and culinary Recipes, Cellar Books, Game Books, lists of old trees, tradespeople’s accounts, and original 18th century clothing, can be found in the Coach House.

The Forfar Witch Trials took place between 1661-1663 and involved 42 local people who were imprisoned and tortured on suspicion of witchcraft. 22 women were found guilty of the crime and executed over the three-year period.
