Aboyne Castle

As it stood in 1885
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact harled and lime-washed stone complex of three storeys with basement and attic, rising in an irregular silhouette of towers and turrets. Distinctive five-storey circular towers corbelled to square (north-west and north-east) carry a balustrade; an attic tower sits on the north; an angled tower projects to the north-west; stepped granite gables mark the kitchen block. Small-pane windows puncture the elevations beneath a grey slate roof with tiled ridge, and a stone flight of steps leads to the principal floor doorway; a harled boundary wall and enclosed courtyard lie immediately to the north. The castle sits close to the River Dee within planted policies and an artificial loch.
