Leslie Castle, Medieval castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The stone castle follows an L-shaped plan design with a square tower containing a central staircase illuminated by lamps within its column.
Built around 1661 for William Forbes of Monymusk, the castle replaced an earlier wooden structure and maintained its original form until 1820.
The castle hosted a significant Leslie Clan Gathering in 1995, reinforcing its connection to Scottish heritage and family traditions.
Leslie Castle functions as a guesthouse from April to October, offering three room types and evening meals in the Baronial hall upon request.
During restoration in the 1980s, builders incorporated stones from nearby fallen cottages to rebuild the castle walls.
