Craigievar Castle
|
|
(43km/27m W of Aberdeen) The most perfect of the Scottish tower houses, six storeys high on a narrow base and with a profusion of turrets at its upper levels. It remains miraculously unchanged from when it was built in 1610–26 for William Forbes, a merchant trading with the Baltic. The magnificent plasterwork of the interiors is in marked contrast to the defensive exterior.
