Beldorney Castle, 16th century castle in Glass, Scotland
The Z-plan castle stands beside the River Deveron, featuring a main rectangular tower with two diagonal corner towers at opposite angles.
George Gordon purchased the land from the Earl of Huntly in 1545 and completed the castle construction before his death in 1575.
A wall painting depicting a woman playing the lute was discovered during restoration work, indicating the castle's connection to Scottish musical heritage.
The castle remains a private residence and visitors can only access the grounds through pre-arranged group tours at specific times.
The structure includes a secret chamber where John Gordon, the 10th Laird, reportedly hid for 15 years after participating in the 1745 rebellion.
