Oxenfoord Castle, Category A listed castle in Cranston, Scotland
The castle stands on the west bank of River Tyne, featuring extensive parkland and formal terraced gardens with a Dutch Garden and yew hedges.
The estate originated in the 12th century under the Riddel family, later owned by the Makgills who built the original four-story tower house in the 16th century.
Robert Adam designed the castle rebuilding in 1782, followed by William Burn's extensions in 1842, maintaining architectural harmony with the original Adam style.
The castle now functions as an events center, hosting weddings, corporate gatherings, and private receptions across its multiple indoor and outdoor spaces.
The property includes a mid-19th-century pinetum and Sequoia trees planted to commemorate King Edward VII's marriage, enhancing its botanical significance.
