Fetteresso Castle, Kincardineshire

Fetteresso Castle

Fetteresso Castle is Gothic style Palladian manor house in Kincardineshire. The current mansion was rebuilt in 1761 from a 14th-century tower house, and there is clear evidence of prehistoric use of the site.

The castle stands immediately west of the county town, Stonehaven. Other notable historic fortified houses or castles in this region are Dunnottar Castle, Muchalls Castle, Fiddes Castle, Cowie Castle and Monboddo House, built in unquiet times to guard the strategic pinch point where the mountains of the Mounth run down to the sea coast.
