Castles of Scotland on Instagram: "Castle Fraser by @markjfairley was built between 1575 and 1636 by the 6th Laird of Fraser, Michael Fraser. It is one of the largest tower houses in Scotland and served as home to the Fraser family for over 400 years.  Throughout its long history, Castle Fraser came close to seeing military action only once, when in 1644 during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms it was attacked by the Royalist commander, James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, who devastated the surrounding estate but, lacking time or siege equipment, left the castle untouched.   In 1715, Charles Fraser supported John Erskine, Earl of Mar when he started the Jacobite rebellion. The uprising was short-lived and, following the Battle of Sheriffmuir, was ultimately defused.

Castles of Scotland on Instagram: "Midhope Castle is a 16th century tower house and belonged to the Drummonds of Midhope, who were in possession during part of the 16th and 17th centuries.  Alexander Drummond of Midhope remodelled the tower in 1587 and his initials, with those of his wife Marjorie Bruce are on a former lintel now above a gateway. The property passed to the Livingstones in 1664, before going on to the Hopes in 1678.  Midhope was later used to house farm workers after the building of nearby Hopetoun House in 1890, before being abandoned and is now semi-derelict. More recently, Midhope Castle featured in the TV series ‘Outlander’ as ‘Lallybroch’, the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser.
