Lickleyhead Castle, Category A listed castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
The L-shaped castle features two-story turrets on the north front and a semi-circular stair turret leading to an elevated watch room.
The estate, initially belonging to Clan Leslie, was acquired by William Leith in the 13th century and remained in the Leith family until 1625.
The castle holds eight distinct bedrooms, including the laird's room with a hand-carved Queen Anne four-poster bed and the Forbes room with a box bed.
Visitors can book accommodations in different sections: the East Wing for 4 people, the West Wing for 12, or the entire castle for 16 adults plus two children.
William Forbes, a former resident, accidentally shot off his hand at the castle, which people interpreted as punishment for murdering Alexander Irvine.
