Craigievar Castle is an early 17th‑century Scottish Baronial tower house completed in 1626, built for William Forbes and later the seat of the Forbes family until 1963. It is an L‑plan, seven‑storey harled tower noted for its elaborate plasterwork ceilings and is now owned and managed by the National Trust for Scotland.

As it stood in 1626
The shape it held in its prime.
A seven‑storey L‑plan tower house rendered in pale pink lime harl with small square and slit windows, corbelled angle turrets topped by conical slate roofs, and a balustraded viewing platform and flagpole at the summit. The main block rises sheer from low lawns and a gravel approach, with a low stone retaining wall and wooded parkland to one side; the entrance sits at the base beneath the tower massing and an iron yett guards the doorway.
