Craigievar Castle
Craigievar Castle is a castle near Alford in the former Grampian region of Scotland.
An excellent example of Scottish Baronial architecture, the great seven-storey tower of the castle was completed in 1626 by the Aberdonian merchant William Forbes, ancestor to the Forbes-Sempill family.
