Corgarff Castle

Corgarff Castle is a whitewashed Scottish tower house and surrounding low-walled courtyard standing near the Lecht road in Aberdeenshire. Built around 1530 and altered as a government barracks in the 18th century, it sits in open moorland and is now in state care and open to the public.

As it stood in 1748

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall, plain rectangular whitewashed tower rises from the centre of a single-storey, whitewashed enclosed courtyard; both tower and outbuildings have steep slate roofs and simple square chimneys. The tower has regularly spaced small multi-pane windows on its façades and a narrow projecting stair or service projection on one corner. The enclosing curtain wall is low, also whitewashed, punctured by a regular row of rectangular musket-slits. The group sits on grassy moorland beside a road with rolling heather-covered hills beyond.
