Airlie Castle, Medieval castle near Kirriemuir, Scotland
The stone fortress stands at the junction of Isla and Melgund rivers, featuring thick walls and an entrance gateway topped by a square tower.
King James I of Scotland granted the lands to Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen in 1432, leading to the construction of the first fortification.
The east wall of the original courtyard measures 36 meters in length and 9 meters in height, displaying medieval Scottish architectural techniques.
The Category B listed building requires special permissions for any modifications, ensuring the preservation of its historical characteristics for future generations.
The castle's destruction in 1640 inspired the creation of a traditional Scottish ballad titled The Bonnie Hoose o' Airlie.
