Title
Crathes Castle
Description
A photograph of Crathes Castle looking west across one section of its walled garden. This historic property can be found approximately 16 miles to the south west of Aberdeen. It is not far north of the River Dee before Banchory. Kniphofia (Red-Hot Pokers) are the tall flowers in the foreground of this image. The garden's distinctive topiary yew trees can be seen on the left. The castle is cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Their website states that "Alexander Burnett built the castle in the 16th century, an intricate maze of turrets, towers, oak panels and painted ceilings, many of which survive beautifully to this day." This image likely dates from the 1970s or 80s. It comes from a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's Publicity department.
