CRAIGIEVAR
CRAIGIEVAR |
Dates from: 1626
Craigievar Castle is considered the finest tower house in all of Scotland. The castle was constructed in 1626 by the Mortimer’s, but after their bankruptcy, the Forbes family purchased and completed the house. Craigievar underwent repair in 1823. The painting is based on a visit in 2004.
