Brechin Castle

Brechin Castle is a large stone country house–style castle on an estate in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The present appearance stems from extensive early-18th-century rebuilding and 18th-century remodelling; the building remains a lived-in Category A listed house with formal gardens and parkland.
