Castles of Scotland

Scotland has over 1500 castles still in existance today. Here is one of my favourites.

Craigievar Castle is a pinkish harled castle or fortified country house 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The castle is reputed to have been the inspiration for Walt Disney's castle motif. The setting is among scenic rolling foothills of the Grampian Mountains and the contrast of its massive lower storey structure to the finely sculpted multiple turrets, gargoyles and high corbelling work to create a classic fairytale appearance.
