Christmas in the Castle Tour Reveals Pitcairn Family Traditions at Glencairn Museum


The Glencairn Museum offers a guided holiday experience that recreates the Christmas traditions of the Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn family. Spanning four decades from the 1940s to the 1970s, these celebrations are brought to life within the historic castle setting.


Visitors are introduced to a festive atmosphere featuring a concert, an elaborate three-part Nativity display, and a towering Christmas tree that once extended beyond the second-floor balcony. The experience highlights the warmth and elegance that defined holiday gatherings in the Pitcairn household.


The tour continues through multiple levels of the castle, including the tower and the main bedroom suite, offering a rare look into private family spaces decorated for the season. These rooms provide insight into both personal traditions and architectural grandeur.


Guests also receive access to the “World Nativities” exhibition, available for self-guided exploration before or after the tour. The display features Nativity scenes from around the world, enriching the experience by placing the Pitcairn family’s traditions within a broader cultural context.
