One of the best preserved
medieval castles in Scotland, this early 14th
century monolith, near the village of Alford, was
attacked by the outlaw son of Wolf of Badenoch in
1404 and was then dismantled after the 1715
Jacobite Rising. The ruins, however, have been
extensively repaired and stand as an evocative
reminder of a bygone age. The castle was built in
the shape of a shield, reminiscent of some Welsh
castles. In a nearby quarry are beautiful Alpine
gardens laid out by Japanese designers in 1904.
