The first Castle that I’m going to discuss about is the Castle Fraser. This Scottish castle is located near Inverurie and lies in the Aberdeenshire area of Scotland. This gorgeous Castle served as a backdrop for some of the scenes that were shot in Bafta. The Castle was initially known as the Muchall-in-Mar and has a number of stories attached to it. The Castle Fraser is open for public viewing in the summer months only.
The Edinburgh Castle is the second most popular destination in Scotland. It is interesting to note that this Castle stands upon an extinct volcano, which had risen some 340 million years ago. The Edinburgh Castle has been the center of military activities. It can be seen against an interesting skyline, where it sits grandly atop the Castle Rock.
Another popular in Scotland is the Edzell Castle. David Lindsay started the construction of this Castle in the year 1520 and later on the Earl of Dalhousie, ultimately owned this castle. It is known for a rather unusual Wall Garden. There is also an association with symbolism with regards to the structure of the garden.
Bothwell Castle has the reputation of being the largest Stone Castles in the country. It is located on a very steep river bank and around shaped tower characterizes this magnificent castle. The Bothwell Castle was constructed by William Moray.
