Buchanan Old House, Category C listed building ruins in Stirling, Scotland
Buchanan Old House retains its stone walls amid an encroaching forest, with architectural elements from the 1850s Scottish baronial style still visible through the decay.
The structure, built between 1852 and 1858 for the 4th Duke of Montrose, replaced an earlier residence that burned down during Christmas celebrations in 1850.
The building represents the transition of power from Clan Buchanan to Clan Graham, marking a significant shift in local Scottish noble leadership during the 17th century.
The ruins stand within the grounds of Buchanan Castle Golf Club, with the remaining walls showing the original layout of this once-grand Scottish residence.
During World War II, the building served as a military hospital where Rudolf Hess received treatment following his unexpected flight to Scotland in 1941.
