Edzell Castle

Edzell Castle is a ruined 16th-century castle, with an early-17th-century walled garden. It is located close to the village of  Edzell, Angus, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic:  Eigill, Aonghas, Alba) which is about 5 miles north of Brechin. The castle did not endure much military action, and seems to have been designed for use as primarily a country house. In 1715 it was sold by the Lindsay family, and eventually came into the ownership of the Earl of Dalhousie. The house was given to the state in the 1930s, and is now under the care of by Historic Environment Scotland - Àrainneachd Eachdraidheil Alba and open to the public.
