The first structure was from 1211, and each later owning family added a tower: Preston 1400-ish, Meldrum, Seton 1599 (the present entrance), Gordon 1778 and Leith 1890. The overall style is Scottish Baronial. Within (by guided tour) there's a grand wheel staircase and portrait collection. A charming walled garden grows Scottish fruit and vegetables.
Fyvie Castle is a castle in the village of Fyvie, near Turriff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The earliest parts of the castle date from the 13th century, and it later passed through the hands of several prominent families, including the Prestons, Setons and Gordons. Since 1984 it has been owned and managed by the National Trust for Scotland.

Sumptuous stately home, built in Palladian style from 1732; the interior was made-over with Victoriana in 1880. There's a large art collection, and an elaborate porcelain dinner service from His Nibs' stint as Governor-General for Canada. There's also an arts venue with theatre and concert hall. House and grounds passed to the National Trust in 1979.
