Huntly Castle

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
A robust L-plan stone palace dominated on its west side by a tall, cylindrical five-storey round tower; the main rectangular block to its east has rows of large, vertically aligned window openings and an ashlar façade band. Walls are built of rough grey-brown rubble with red sandstone dressings and moulded string courses. Tall, slender chimneys rise above a broken roofline. A low outer curtain wall extends to the east, and the whole stands in a wooded riverside park with a grassed forecourt.
