Edzell Castle in Angus The birthplace of Scotland
The magnificent Edzell Castle, is a ruined 16th-century castle, with an early-17th-century walled garden. It is located close to Edzell itself, and is around 5 miles (8 km) north of Brechin, in Angus, Scotland. Edzell Castle was begun around 1520 by David Lindsay, 9th Earl of Crawford, and expanded by his son, Sir David Lindsay, Lord Edzell, who also laid out the garden in 1604. The castle saw little military action, and was, in its design, construction and use, more of a country house than a defensive structure. It was briefly occupied by English troops during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. In 1715 it was sold by the Lindsay family, and eventually came into the ownership of the Earl of Dalhousie. It was given into state care in the 1930s, and is now a visitor attraction run by Historic Scotland (open all year; entrance charge). The castle consists of the original tower house and building ranges around a courtyard. The adjacent Renaissance walled garden, incorporating intricate relief carvings, is unique in Scotland. It was replanted in the 1930s, and is considered to have links to esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry.
Lolling Around Edzell Castle Scotland
Edzell medieval chapel and castle
The Lindsay aisle is all that remains of the medieval parish church of Edzell, dedicated to St. Lawrence. There is a similarity of design to the medieval chapel (St. Serf's?) near Culross; the mortuary aisle which adjoins the nave from the south, through a semi-circular arch, is late medieval but probably still pre-Reformation. Was this a style of late medieval, pre-Reformation, Scottish architecture? The dulcet-toned castle garden with peacocks and summer-house would have been a delight in Renaissance times to the Lindsay family; it's still very beautiful with it's currently resident, extremely vain, peacocks!
Old Photographs Of Edzell Angus Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Edzell, Scottish Gaelic: Eigill, a village in Angus. It is 5 miles north of Brechin, by the River North Esk. The original village of Edzell was located around the walls of the first Edzell Castle, a motte and bailey structure to the south of the present castle. The existing village of Slateford was expanded in the early 19th century by the Earl of Panmure. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited Edzell, as part of a Royal progress through Angus and Kincardineshire, just weeks before Albert's sudden death. Edzell was not connected to the railway until 1896, and only had a passenger service until 1931, although it reopened experimentally in the summer of 1938. The line closed to freight traffic in 1964. In the twentieth century, the increasing popularity of golf led to more tourists visiting Edzell Golf Club. At one point the village had three large hotels. The original course was laid out in 1895 by Bob Simpson, top golf course architect of his day. In 1934 the course was re-designed on recommendations made by the famous James Braid who was born in Earlsferry, East Neuk of Fife, and remains virtually unchanged to this day. Loups Bridge near Edzell is now unused, the bridge carries a path over the River North Esk, which here forms the boundary between the the parishes of Edzell in Angus, and Fettercairn in Kincardineshire. The bridge was built by John and James Justice of Dundee.

It is situated about 1 mile out of Edzell on the B966 road heading towards Fettercairn. Just immediately after crossing the Gannochy Bridge you will see a few parking spaces at the side of the road on your left, this is where you want to park.
After parking up you will see the 'blue door'.
Cross the road and check out the water of the River North Esk, flowing there.
Back to the other side and enter the blue door to start The Burn, river walk.
Many say it is like entering another world and have compared it to Narnia'. This is where you go through the wardrobe and enter another world.
It is a beautiful walk. I myself would rate as one of the TOP 5 best walks in all of Scotland.
This is a river walk with stunning scenery, consisting of rapids & waterfalls beside tree lined paths,
Overall, it is quite a long walk but I enjoy every minute of it, EVERY YEAR I am there. I would recommend it to all tourists, or to anyone who hasn't done it yet. One important piece of advice though. It would be almost impossible in a wheelchair.
If you intend doing the walk with young children, I would also suggest you keep a strong hold of their hand, or reins, as there are some very steep and very dangerous drops, at certain parts throughout this walk.
The core content contained in the above combined articles, was originally written by several A.N. Others + myself, then combined. It was then all re-formatted, re-edited, with the spelling & grammar corrected, then added to where pertinent, before being updated by me, myself, and I, to suit this subject matter more exclusively.
Thank you to all those involved in this.
Crawford Castle, Crawford, Lanarkshire
Previously known as Lindsay Tower. Used as a hunting lodge by King James V. After 1633 the Marquess of Douglas rebuilt the castle in the form that we see today, it then passed to the Duke of Hamilton, before being sold to Sir George Colebrooke in the 18th century. After a period of use as a farmhouse, the building was abandoned at the end of the 18th century, and much of the stone reused to build the present Crawford Castle House and Farm. Four stone plaques bearing coats of arms have been built into the west and south walls of the Castle Crawford House. The castle stands close to the River Clyde and the town of Crawford.
Live from Crawford castle????????สวัสดีค่าเพื่อนๆ
Crawford Castle, substantially in ruins, is located on the north bank of the River Clyde, around half a mile north of Crawford, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The ruins stand on an earlier motte and bailey earthwork. The castle was formerly known as Lindsay Tower, after its former owners, the Lindsay family. The strategic location of the castle, at NS954213, guards the approach from England into the upper Clyde Valley.
History:
Archaeological excavations to the north-west of the castle have shown that a Roman fort, with a garrison of perhaps 300, existed at this site between 80 AD and 170 AD.
This site was the administrative center for the Barony of Crawford, at that time the largest and most influential barony in southern Scotland. The Barony was established before 1100 when records of the period show Thorlongus of the Merse as Overlord of Crawford. From this line descended the surname of Crawford as the original occupants of the barony. Crawford Castle was in existence by 1175, and was probably built as an earthwork and timber castle some time before this by the Crawford family.
The Lindsay family inherited half of the Barony of Crawford, known as Crawford Parish, via a marriage in 1215 to the younger daughter of Sir John Crawford, who died in 1246 without male issue. (Sir John's elder daughter Margaret married a Douglas scion.) The Crawford family retained the other half, known as Crawfordjohn Parish, as the Barony had been divided among the Crawford family four generations earlier. Crawford Castle is located in Crawford Parish. From an early date, the Clan Carmichael of Meadowflat acted as hereditary constables of the castle, retaining this post under successive owners.
In 1398, Robert II granted the title of Earl of Crawford to David Lindsay, who had won great praise on St George’s Day, 23 April 1390 for bravery in a duel with the Englishman Baron Welles on London Bridge after Welles, at a banquet in Edinburgh, and presumably after too much alcohol issued, as Champion of England, the challenge: Let words have no place; if ye know not the Chivalry and Valiant deeds of Englishmen; appoint me a day and a place where ye list, and ye shall have experience.
At the accession of James IV in 1488 the barony of Crawford was transferred to Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus for supporting his father, James III, against the young prince's rebellion. The Earls of Angus held the castle until 1578, when their estates were forfeited by the young James V. James used Crawford as a hunting lodge until his own death in 1542. His mistress, Elizabeth Carmichael, was the daughter of the hereditary constable.
After 1542 the barony was returned to the Earls of Angus, the keepership of the Carmichaels of Meadowflat coming to an end in 1595. In 1633 the 11th earl was created Marquess of Douglas, and the castle was probably rebuilt after this date. The castle then passed to the Duke of Hamilton, before being sold to Sir George Colebrooke in the 18th century. After a period of use as a farmhouse, the building was abandoned at the end of the 18th century, and much of the stone reused to build the present Crawford Castle Farm. Four stone tablets bearing coats of arms, one with the date 1648, are built into the west and south walls of the Castle Crawford House.

The early earthworks of Crawford Castle comprise a motte around 5m high, with a surrounding ditch and a bailey some 45m by 33m to the south-west. On the motte are the remains of a curtain wall, surrounding an enclosure around 20m square. There may have been round towers at the corners of this enclosure, which probably dates to the 16th or early 17th centuries. A range of buildings on the south-west side of the castle were built at around the same time. This tower-like range was of three storeys, plus an attic, with a vaulted basement and projecting chimney-breast. To the south-east, a second range was added later in the 17th century, providing more spacious accommodation with larger windows. The prominent arched recess in the east wall suggests that a single storey building of some kind projected from the main structure at this location. Much of the present remains probably date from the 17th century rebuilding by the Marquess of Douglas.
Crawford Castle is specified in a list of monuments published by the Minister of Public Building and Works under the Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment Act 1913. It is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland lists the site as a castle or motte..
BEHIND THAT BLUE DOOR AT EDZELL. Angus in Scotland.
A walk by The Burn behind the blue door at Edzell. This is a walk along a very small part of the River North Esk (Mainly well ABOVE it.) and into the lower reaches of Glen Esk. A walk to behold, with magnificent views indeed. noisy when the water is in full flow, and I do not recommend you trying to swim there either.
