Park House, Tower house in Ordiquhill, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Park House stands with tall proportions and features a distinctive turret, elaborate window designs, and fine stonework details from the 16th century construction period.

The structure dates back to 1292 and provided shelter to Robert the Bruce before its reconstruction as a Z-plan tower house in 1563.

The Gordon family maintained strong connections to Park House, with Sir Adam Gordon of Glenbuchat Castle becoming the first Laird of Park in 1623.

The estate encompasses 45 acres of land, including the Park Burn formation and numerous 250-year-old sycamore trees surrounding the main building.

Sir William Gordon, who owned the castle, faced execution after the Battle of Culloden in 1745 due to his support of the Jacobite movement.
