While a mere 3,000 stand today, their legacy endures. Some are renowned worldwide, others have inspired great literary works, and still, others have dazzled the silver screen. While grand, ticketed visitor attractions exist, there are also unassuming structures hidden away, known only to the locals. From the triangular-shaped Caerlaverock Castle in Dumfries and Galloway to the imposing New Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, and from the magnificent fortress that dominates the Edinburgh skyline to the haunting battlements that stand on the banks of Loch Ness, each tower bears a tale, every turret conceals a secret, and together, they span centuries of captivating Scottish history. A History and Guide to Scottish Castles delves into the history, architecture, and legends of these intriguing fortresses, exploring why they continue to captivate visitors today. Author Jenna Maxwell, with her own unique experiences, takes readers on an unforgettable tour of some of Scotland's most remarkable castles, urging those who haven't visited them already to do so soon.
