Invercauld Castle

Invercauld Castle is a country house on Royal Deeside near Braemar in Scotland, long associated with the Farquharson family. The building incorporates a 16th-century tower house core and was extensively remodelled in 1875 in the Scots Baronial style; the grounds are registered for their designed landscape.

As it stood in 1875

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact grey-granite Scots Baronial house with steep slate roofs pierced by dormer windows, small round conical-roofed corner turrets and a taller square crenellated tower rising above the central block. The entrance front sits on a cleared lawn framed by birch and pine woodland, with a reflective pond in the foreground and snow-capped Cairngorm peaks beyond. Masonry is uniform grey stone; rooflines are varied with stepped gables and chimneys, and the composition reads as a single, complete late-19th-century country house.
