Description: | Glamis castle is located on flat ground at the bottom of the Vale of Strathmore, this is an unusual location for a castle and this is because originally it was intended to be used as a royal hunting lodge. The castle was built in the 14th century and many alterations have been made over succeeding generations. In the 18th century the grounds in front of the Castle were landscaped, and avenues of trees were planted leading up to it. In the 19th century theses trees were replanted and the grounds were remodelled to open parkland in the style of Capability Brown. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Sandby, Thomas | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
