Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Findlater Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is perched on a 50-foot cliff overlooking the Moray Firth. Dating back to the 14th century, this historic site has seen its fair share of drama, from being repaired by King Alexander III for a Norwegian invasion to later becoming the seat of the Earls of Findlater and Seafield. Despite its decline over the years, the castle remains a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's past, with tales of royal visits, family feuds, and intrigue. Today, it stands as a scheduled monument, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and explore its rich history.
