Craigievar Castle south of Alford in Aberdeenshire. The image shows the tall tower house clad in pink harling, viewed end-on with the narrower end facing the camera. The entrance is at the foot of a square tower set into the structure. There is a small circular stone turret with a conical roof off to the left. The scene is in sunlight.
