The Castle on the Hill

My brother, sister in law and I visited Braemar castle on Thursday for the first time since it reopened after refurbishment. It's run by the community, but still belongs to the Farquaharson Clan of Invercauld Estate. It's a lovely 'little' castle to visit, and quite homely inside.

Suck a stark building on this landscape. Great shot

It's quite an unusual looking castle. A great capture

[Vincent]

Quite an architecture!

[Diana]

Amazing capture and scene, it somehow looks a tad out of place in the beautiful landscape. I love the foreground.

[Casablanca]

It looks so relatively modern in style. Fascinating. Would love to see inside!

[Lesley]

It’s very unusual, but so good that it is open to visit

Spelling that name would not be easy let alone pronouncing it! What an amazing building!

[Kathy A]

Such an interestingly unusual shape

What a wonderful position they have. A beautiful castle and a break from munro bagging for you!

[Rob Z]

What a splendid image - the castle itself is such an interesting combination of elements. :)

[haskar]

A bit huge and hard to get to. Fabulous capture.

[Pat Knowles]

A much more modern look to this castle, almost art deco. Must have been so interesting to visit. A cosy castle sounds lovely.

[Carole Sandford]

An unusual looking castle.

At first I thought it was a space ship, quite a modern day castle!

[Phil Howcroft]

it looks beautiful , almost folly in design

[Tunia McClure]

modern and old at the same time.

[Valerie Chesney]

Very unusual castle & it certainly stands out on that hill.
Would be wonderful to visit & wander inside.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Did it always look like that? I always think of castles being made out of hewn stone. This looks more like stucco. And it does look more like a space ship to me too! Nice shot.

[Taffy]

So intriguing looking! It has a futuristic feel to it.

[eDorre]

Intriguing. Love the contrasts

[Kathy]

It is sleek and very modern looking.

[amyK]

Interesting building and scene

[Rick]

Cool capture. Really neat looking castle.

@olivetreeann It's been like that since I've known it, and it's even been pink as Lady Frances Farquharson, of the time, was an American fashion icon who loved pink! It's whiter than usual at the moment, but that will fade with time. The castle, as it stands today, dates back to 1628 when it was a hunting lodge.

[Denise Wood]

Very interesting castle :)

[LManning (Laura)]

Such an unusual structure!

[Renee Salamon]

Oh my, it looks a little like a rocket about to take off
