Craigston Castle, Category A listed castle in King Edward, Scotland.
The castle features a U-plan design with two main wings connected by an elevated arch, plus a richly corbelled parapet near each wing.
Construction of Craigston Castle began in March 1604 under John Urquhart of Craigfintry, reaching completion in December 1607 as part of the Bell group castles.
The drawing room displays elaborate wood carvings depicting biblical themes alongside Clan Urquhart heraldic artifacts, representing Scottish noble traditions.
The castle accommodates up to 12 guests between May and October, offering access to 250 acres of woodland and proximity to 70 golf courses.
Despite detailed plans for corner turrets at the top of each wing during construction, these architectural elements were never completed.
