Description: | View of Braemar Castle. The castle was built by the Earl of Mar in 1628 on the site of an earlier fortification- Kindrochit Castle. Braemar castle has been owned by the Farquharson family since 1732 and has been transformed into a private residence. It is an L shaped castle with an unusual star shaped curtain wall, a central circular stair tower and striking angle turrets with conical shaped roofs. In the mid 18th century the conical roofs were replaced with crenellations to provide lookout more points. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
