Braemar Castle
Braemar Castle stands near the village of Braemar in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Built in 1628 as an L-plan five-storey tower with a star-shaped outer wall, it later served as a garrison and is today owned by the Farquharson family and leased to a local community trust and open to visitors.

As it stood in 1628
The shape it held in its prime.
A five-storey L-plan tower rising from a low grassy mound, its central rectangular tower enfolding a round stair turret and linked to a main wing; the castle is surrounded by a low star-shaped curtain wall of six sharp-angled salients and three-storey angle turrets. Built of pale granite with a harled finish, the façade shows narrow windows often fitted with heavy iron grilles and a main entrance fitted with an iron yett; set in parkland with scattered conifers and a long approach drive.
