Fortar Castle, Medieval castle in Glenisla, Scotland.
The L-shaped stone structure features three vaulted compartments on the ground floor and a tower positioned at the southeast corner of the building.
In 1640, the Earl of Argyll ordered the burning of Fortar Castle during a period of political unrest in Scottish history.
The classification as a Category B listed building reflects the architectural importance of Fortar Castle in preserving Scottish defensive building techniques.
Visitors can reach the castle through the Glenisla region of Angus, where parking facilities allow exploration of both the structure and surrounding grounds.
The kitchen contains one of the largest medieval fireplaces found in Scottish castles of this period, spanning an exceptional width.
