Braemar Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Originally built as a hunting lodge by the Earl of Mar, it later became a strategic garrison during the Jacobite risings. The castle features a unique L-plan structure with stone-vaulted rooms, a central tower, and impressive defensive elements like iron grilles on windows. Today, it is open to the public and managed by a local charitable foundation, offering visitors a glimpse into its fascinating past and stunning architecture.
