Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Huntly Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is a ruined castle with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. It was the ancestral home of the chief of Clan Gordon, Earl of Huntly. Over the years, the castle saw various events, including royal visits, battles, and even a fatal football match involving the 5th Earl of Huntly. Despite being partially demolished by King James VI, the castle was restored and rebuilt by the Marquess of Huntly in the 16th century. Today, it stands as a fascinating reminder of Scotland's past, with its impressive architecture and intriguing stories.
