Are you hooked on The Traitors already? The second series of the BBC reality TV show has finally begun with the first three episodes available to watch now.
On Wednesday (January 3), viewers finally got to meet the 22 contestants and host Claudia Winkleman chose her Traitors once again.
But as the award-winning programme gets underway, there might be some questions puzzling your mind such as where the castle is located and where the cast sleeps at night. Here’s what we know.
Where is the castle from The Traitors located?
Now that we've all (hopefully) slept, what would you rate Series 2 Episode 1 of #TheTraitorsUK on a scale of 1-10? 🤔🗡️

If you have watched the cast of The Traitors arrive at the historic grand building in the first episode of both seasons, you might be wondering where it is.
The BBC programme is filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland and is located just north of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, reports The Mirror.
The 19th-century castle is surrounded by more than 100 acres of land which was often seen during the challenges from the 2022 series.
Fans may have noticed it is also the home for the US version of The Traitors.
The American edition which is hosted by actor Alan Cumming launched last year on the streaming platform Peacock.
The second series of The Traitors US will air on January 12 and features celebrity contestants such as politician John Bercow and Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Where do the Traitors sleep at night on the UK version?
Those taking part in The Traitors do not sleep at Ardross Castle.
Instead, they are transported in separate vehicles at night and are taken to different accommodation.
Both the Traitors and Faithfuls leave the castle when the roundtable has come to an end and the clock chimes.
The exact location of where the cast sleep is not currently known but we do know they are not allowed to communicate with each other or anyone outside of the programme.
In the first episode of The Traitors series two, Claudia said: “All the players must leave immediately and return to their individual lodgings where they can't see or speak to anyone."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
