The Green and Gold Room
Queen Victoria visited Dunrobin in 1872 and slept in the gilt four-poster bed.
The Green and Gold Room and adjoining dressing room were redecorated in the French style for Duchess Eileen in 1921, the original room having been made in 1785 when the Countess of Sutherland married Lord Stafford. A Gobelin tapestry hangs on the wall opposite the windows and the curtains have a leaf design - a heraldic allusion to the Leveson family. Over the fireplace is a portrait of the daughter of the Duc de Bourbon by Nattier. The suite also contains a bathroom, which is the first installed in the castle.
The Nurseries
In the Day Nursery, which is lined with ash wood, the children of the family and its visitors amused themselves under the supervision of their nannies and nursery maids, not to mention a governess or two. The toys on display include a rocking horse and a doll's house, which was made for the present Countess of Sutherland's daughter, Lady Annabel.
