Powrie Castle, Fortified house in Dundee, Scotland
The castle features a two-storey rectangular Z-plan structure with round towers at the north east and south west corners of the building.
Thomas Fothringham purchased the Wester Powrie estate in 1412 and constructed the initial castle, which the Scrymgeours destroyed in 1492.
The north wing exhibits Renaissance architectural elements, including a vaulted ground floor and a small round tower at the north west section.
The castle underwent adaptation into a private residence between 1978 and 1981, limiting public access to the historical structure.
A National Trust for Scotland competition winner, Gillian Strickland, received ownership of the castle as a reward for designing its restoration plan.
