The Real Torchwood

To the left you see the real Torchwood House, situated in Scotland and owned by the MacLeish family, first being open to the public in 1981.

Those of you who have seen Doctor Who Series 2 Episode 2 : Tooth and Claw. Will remember that the Doctor and Rose are visiting Queen Victoria on her one and only visit to Torchwood House. But low and behold there is a werewolf held captive in the dungeons with intention of killing the Royal.

One particular part of the episode had the characters sheltering within the library whose walls were laced with mistletoe oil. For those who are unaware, mistletoe is a sort of warewolf repellant.

Anyhow if you visit: www.visittorchwood.co.uk and have a look in the history section, there will be some very interesting similarities to the plot of Doctor Who.

On the website apart from general information and history of the site is an observatory, most of the options are limited, however, you are able to look at the moon! Maybe this is a potential wedding venue?
