Craigievar Castle or the „Pink Castle“ near Alford, Aberdeenshire.
Craigievar Castle was built in the Scottish Baronial style in the 16th century. This iconic tower house is one of the best preserved and the most loved castles in Scotland. Its exterior remains virtually unchanged since William Forbes completed it in 1626.
During the restoration in 1824 the architect John Smith had the idea that wall finish should have pigments added to make it more closely match the colour of the local granite. The result was the unique pink colour we see here now.
Craigievar was the Forbes family home until the 1960s. National Trust for Scotland is now responsible for the castle.

Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire. Castle Fraser was started in the mid-fourteenth century as a three storey rectangular Tower House. The surrounding lands, known as Muchall, were originally the property of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar. However, when he died in 1435 without a legitimate heir, the estates passed to the Crown. It was James II (1437-60) who granted both Muchall and Stoneywood to Thomas Fraser in the mid-fifteenth century. It was most probably Thomas who built the Tower House on the site which became known as Muchall-in-Mar Castle. The castle was substantially upgraded in the sixteenth century by Michael Fraser, Sixth Laird of Fraser. He built two new towers on diagonally opposite corners of the existing Tower House to form a Z-plan castle. Work started on the project in 1575 but progress was slow and it was still incomplete when he died in 1588 leaving his son, Andrew Fraser, to complete the build in 1636. Andrew was elevated to Lord Fraser in 1633. In 1897 Frederick Mackenzie Fraser died childless and his widow, faced with the extensive costs of maintaining the property, sold it in 1921 to Weetman Pearson, Viscount Cowdray. In the 1950s some work was undertaken to remove sections of the nineteenth century modifications. The castle was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland in 1976. A little reminder for all Outlander Fans: This is not the home of Jamie Fraser but absolutely worth to visit. #fortheloveofscotland #nationaltrustforscotland #castlefraser #castles_oftheworld #fiftyshades_of_history #explorescotland #loves_scotland #scotland #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #monumental_world #visitscotland #igscotland #ig_Scotland #instascotland #loves_united_castle #scotland_insta #traveling_scotland #traveling_uk #scotlandexplore #thisisscotland #wonderlustscotland #unlimitedscotland #photosofbritain #hiddenscotland #castlesofscotland #earthpix #tlpicks #amazingshots_castle #lasko71 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmo56NFY1BwdzhVPx2yOpLxHOAWp7ueclVw0M0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Culross
Culross, Fife.
.
There is an old legend about Culross: Princess Teneu, the daughter of the King of Lothian, became pregnant before her marriage. She brought shame over the whole kingdom. Her family threw her from a cliff but she survived the fall unharmed. Fate had a different plan. Princess Teneu knew she had no home and her family would chase her.
She found an unmanned little boat on the Firth of Forth but she was not a sailor. So the boat drifted across the Forth to Culross where she was rescued by some local monks. Saint Serf was taking care of Princess Teneu and he became foster-father of her son. Her son grew up in Culross and became later known as Saint Kentigern or Mungo, the founder and patron saint of the city of Glasgow.
I love this little legend. 💙

Falkland Palace, Fife.
Inspired by the grand châteaux of France, in the 16th century James IV and his son, James V, transformed this favoured retreat of the royal Stuarts – the palace became one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Scotland.
One of Falkland’s most famous royal residents – Mary, Queen of Scots – was enchanted with the palace, and took advantage of Falkland’s vast estate to pursue falconry and hunting, while also enjoying a game of tennis in what is now the oldest surviving real (or royal) tennis court in the world.
Although it fell into disrepair after 1660, Falkland Palace was saved from ruin in the 19th century by the 3rd Marquess of Bute. The National Trust for Scotland is taking care of the palace today.
Did you know?
Johnny Cash played a televised concert at Falkland in 1981.
