🏰 Evocative Medieval Castle 🏰
Auchindoun Castle的点评
点评：The free castle carpark ( which only really holds a few cars ) is found up a rough, bumpy , stony track off the A941 - and from there it’s just a short walk amongst lovely rural surroundings up to the castle.
Situated dramatically on top of a hill surrounded by rolling fields & moorland , this lonely 15th century ruin of an L- Plan tower castle was once an impressive stronghold of first the Ogilvy family, and then the Gordons. It’s thought to have been built by Thomas Cochrane, a close advisor to King James lll.
Unfortunately, it was attacked and burned in 1571 , as an act of revenge by William Mackintosh, who was beheaded for his crime.
By 1725 it lay derelict, and as often happens , stones were removed from the castle, and used in other nearby buildings.
However, despite it’s romantically dilapidated condition, it’s well worth visiting to fire up the imagination, and admire the wonderful remote location and landscape of this fortress.

翻译：免费城堡停车场（实际上只能停几辆车）位于A941公路旁一条崎岖不平的碎石路上，从那里步行一小段路即可到达城堡，沿途风景优美，乡村风光旖旎。
这座孤零零的15世纪L型塔楼城堡遗址，雄踞山顶，四周环绕着绵延起伏的田野和荒原，气势恢宏。它曾是奥格威家族和戈登家族的显赫堡垒。据信，城堡由詹姆斯三世国王的亲密顾问托马斯·科克伦建造。
不幸的是，1571年，城堡遭到袭击并被焚毁，这是威廉·麦金托什为报复而采取的行动，他本人也因此被斩首。
到1725年，城堡已成废墟。如同许多建筑一样，城堡的石料被拆走，用于建造附近的其他建筑。
然而，尽管它破败不堪却充满浪漫气息，但仍然值得一游，可以激发想象力，欣赏这座堡垒偏远而美丽的地理位置和风景。
