Hatton Castle, Tower house in Newtyle, Scotland.

The castle features a four-storey Z-plan structure with square towers at the northeast and southwest angles, plus a circular turret in the northeast tower.

The lands of Hatton Castle were granted to Sir William Olifard in 1317 by Robert the Bruce, leading to the construction of the initial structure.

The Great Hall measures 34 by 17 feet and functions as a concert venue, offering excellent acoustics for musical performances throughout the year.

Following extensive restoration work completed in the mid-1980s, the castle returned to residential use and maintains its Category B listed building status.

The castle includes a scale and platt staircase, an architectural element that stands out as uncommon for buildings of this size in Scotland.
