2 Huntly Castle Round Tower in Huntly, Scotland

Despite being in partial ruins, the Huntly castle is worth seeing. This five-story round tower was constructed in 1410. It hints at the grandeur of this former estate owned by the Clan Gordan, a family of Norman knights. Most of the current castle was built by the 1st Earl of Huntly around 1550 and significantly expanded by the 4th and 6th Earls (both named George Gordon) through the early 18th century. Their names are still visible on the façade dated 1606. Inside you can see the courtyard, an ornate fireplace, a brew house and the cellar.
