Castle of Fiddes
Tower house in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Castle of Fiddes is a 16th-century tower house in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, located around 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-west of Stonehaven. It is dated 1592 on a window lintel, with a later date of 1673 on the east wall suggesting a renovation at this time.[1] It was the property of the Arbuthnott family, who sold it in the later 17th century to the Thomson family of Arduthie.[2] It was modernised around 1930 and remains occupied. It is a category A listed building.[3]
The four-storey tower is built on an unusual variant of the L-plan, with a large circular stair tower and several projecting turrets supported on corbels.[1]
