Castle Leod, Tower house in Fodderty, Scotland
Castle Leod stands as a five-story sandstone structure with defensive features including 8-foot-thick walls and iron-grilled windows in Highland, Scotland.
The castle received its initial land grant after the Battle of Flodden and underwent major renovations by Sir Roderick Mackenzie in the early 17th century.
The castle maintains its position as the ancestral seat of Clan Mackenzie, containing a collection of family portraits and period furniture within its walls.
Visitors can access Castle Leod from May through September between 2:00 PM and 5:30 PM, with advance bookings required for all tours.
Two Spanish chestnut trees on the grounds date from 1556, planted to mark Mary Queen of Scots' confirmation of the castle's ownership.
