Craigievar Castle
Originally went on a trip to Glencoe on Sunday with a group of tog friends but unfortunately rain cancelled that adventure and we ended up crossing over to the east for a mini tour of Scottish Castles in the norht east.
Craigievar Castle is a pinkish harled castle six miles (10 km) south of Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was the seat of Clan Sempill and the Forbes family resided here for 350 years until 1963, when the property was given to the National Trust for Scotland. The setting is among scenic rolling foothills of the Grampian Mountains. The contrast of its massive lower storey structure to the finely sculpted multiple turrets, gargoyles and high corbelling work create a classic fairytale appearance.
