It's a Scottish fort called the "pearl of the north". Since the construction of the first Z-plan tower in 1546, it has been home to the Macpherson-Grants family. For many, many years the castle was the site of several murders until it was invaded and the husband of the widow of the Concession of Ballindalloch, John Gordon, was killed. In 1645, it was restored through looting and subsequent arson by the first Marquess of Montrose, James Graham. By 1770 General Grant added numerous extensions to the castle. Today, the fortress houses an important collection of 17th-century Spanish paintings, a 17th-century dovecote and a 20th-century rock garden, and the fort's grounds contain a 17th-century dovecote and a 20th-century rock garden. The rivers Spey and Avon flow through the grounds, providing excellent fishing. The castle is open to visitors during the summer months and offers various workshops.
