Craigston Castle

Built in 1607, Craigston Castle is a well-preserved example of early 17th-century Scottish architecture, combining traditional tower house design with Renaissance influences. The castle remains in private ownership and continues to serve as a family home, demonstrating the enduring appeal of historic Scottish architecture. Its location near Turriff places it in the heart of Aberdeenshire's rich castle country, where numerous noble families built impressive residences during Scotland's more peaceful periods.
