Kincardine Castle, Royal Deeside
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Kincardine Castle is a Victorian country house in Royal Deeside, Scotland. It is 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north-east of the village of Kincardine O'Neil, and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Aboyne on the north side of the River Dee, Aberdeenshire. The castle was built in 1894-6 to Scots Baronial designs by Niven and Wigglesworth of London. The architects were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and this shows in the design. It is a category B listed building.[1] The house was built on the site of, and incorporating part of, an earlier building called Kincardine Lodge, dating from around 1780.[2] T. H. Mawson prepared plans for the gardens around 1900, though it is not clear if they were carried out.[2] At the heart of a 3,000-acre (1,200 ha) estate, the castle is not open to the public, but serves as a venue for meetings, private dining, marquee events and weddings. There are extensive gardens which are open for one day in June under the Scotland's Gardens scheme.
