"... with unusual vaulted ceilings." - what makes them unusual?
I really don't know, to be honest. Canmore, ref 2, describes them as such in quite a prominent fashion, so I thought it was important.
It is their number which is unusual, i.e. that there was a vault on every floor. Normally only the basement would be a vault, with the upper storeys having suspended timber floors. Have clarified this.

"In the 17th century, the keep was extended with the addition of a large house, built around a courtyard to the south-west." - Not a fan of a 1 sentence paragraph; perhaps expand it or merge it?
Done (by Jonathan)
"the 17th Earl..."; "the 18th earl..." - caps?
I'm not quite sure which it should be - I'll find a similar article and go by that. Different sources seem to do it differently.
It's now upper case in all but one, where lower case is correct.
"The Gordons quickly recaptured the castle, and captured Alexander and placed his head on a spear on top of the castle tower." - bit clumsy
Reworded.
"Between 1835 and 1850 Sir Charles Barry remodelled the castle into the Scottish Baronial style for 2nd Duke of Sutherland." - add 'the' before '2nd'
Done.
"Between 1835 and 1850"; "In 1915"; "Since 1973" - add comma after year per
MOS:COMMA
Done.
Image caption: "Entrance (west) front of Dunrobin Castle" - bit clumsy

This article is currently in
Category:Reportedly haunted locations in Scotland, but as far as I can see there is no reference to any ghosts or other paranormal activity associated with Dunrobin Castle in this article. Therefore I think it should be taken out of the category unless someone can add material from reliable sources that show there have been claims of hauntings associated with the Castle.

For the above reasons, I have now removed the article from this category. It can always be put back in if anything relevant is added to the article.

Should I include or refer to?
Punch Magazine dated June 1908 runs a short item stating, "A certain American plutocrat who has amassed his wealth in a very questionable way, is about to retire from business, and it is said that, attracted by the name, he has made the Duke of Sutherland a tempting offer for Dunrobin Castle". (Sounds a bit like D. Trump, but generations earlier!)
