Buchanan Castle, Baronial mansion in Drymen, Scotland
The castle features Scottish architectural elements with a central L-shaped tower, multiple turrets, and stepped gables across its stone facades.
Built between 1852 and 1858 for the 4th Duke of Montrose, this mansion replaced the previous Buchanan Auld House destroyed by fire.
The residence belonged to Clan Graham after acquiring the land from Clan Buchanan, marking a significant transfer of power in Scottish nobility.
Located 1.6 kilometers west of Drymen village, the ruins stand near residential areas and require careful navigation through dense vegetation.
During World War II, the castle served as a military hospital where Rudolf Hess received treatment after his capture in Scotland.
