Braemar Castle

Braemar Castle was originally built by the Earls of Mar in the 17th century to reinforce their control of the area. The property was was burned out by the enemy clan leader, the legendary Black Colonel, John Farquarson of Inverey after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Two years after the defeat of the Clans at Culloden the castle was rebuilt to accommodate English soldiers who garrisoned the castle.
