Cluny Castle

Cluny Castle is a large 17th‑century Scottish baronial country house near Monymusk in Aberdeenshire, built around 1604 and substantially remodelled and extended in the 19th century. The granite pile has multiple round and square towers, crenellated parapets and is set within landscaped policies; it remains privately owned and has been restored and used as a filming and event venue.

The shape it held in its prime.

A massive grey granite baronial pile with paired cylindrical corner towers and a taller square tower on the west, all topped by corbelled crenellated parapets. The symmetrical three‑storey frontage has rows of sash windows in dressed surrounds and a recessed entrance with a three‑arched porch; smooth ashlar walls rise from broad lawns into parkland. The roofline is varied with round turrets, hood‑moulded arched windows at ground level and clean, pale granite surfaces.
