Muchalls Castle
Muchalls Castle is a historic L-plan castle near the North Sea in Kincardine and Mearns, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Its lower course is a 13th–14th-century tower-house core, with a larger four-storey castle built above and completed by the Burnett family in 1627; the interior preserves exceptional early 17th-century plasterwork ceilings. The site occupies a knoll with terraced gardens and a walled entrance courtyard.

As it stood in 1627
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact L-plan, four-storey castle set on a grassy knoll overlooking the sea, built directly over an earlier tower-house base. Exterior features include corbelled turrets/bartizans at upper corners, crow-stepped gables, multiple tall masonry chimney stacks and steep pitched roofs. A low curtain wall and stone entrance with an arched wooden gate sit before the main façade, with triple gun loops flanking the entrance; terraces and high stone-walled garden beds step down the western slope.
