Minard Castle, 19th-century castle near Loch Fyne, Scotland
Minard Castle stands on the northwestern shore of Loch Fyne, featuring a Tudor Revival architectural design with castellated walls and multiple expansive chambers.
The original structure, known as Knockbuie House, underwent substantial reconstruction in 1842 under architect John Thomas Rochead, transforming it into a castellated mansion.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Scottish country houses, transitioning from traditional residences to grand Victorian estates during the 19th century.
The castle sits approximately 8 miles northeast of Lochgilphead and maintains an estate spanning 5285 acres along the shoreline of Loch Fyne.
After serving as a private residence, the castle changed functions when the Forestry Commission acquired it in the 1940s, later becoming a hotel under Holiday Fellowship management.
