Braemar Castle
19-20 September 2020
Braemar Castle, a tower house construction, was built in 1628, as a Highland Hunting Lodge for the Earl of Mar to replace the crumbling Kindrochit Castle. Burned in 1689 during the first Jacobite Uprising, it was subsequently restored as a garrison for Hanoverian soldiers in 1748. For the past 200 years it has been home to the Chiefs of Clan Farquharson, as well as a number of fascinating tenants.
