What is recorded here
Glenbervie House began as a castle with two round towers and a courtyard, then became an 18th-century country house still owned by the Badenach family. Edward I stayed there in 1296, and William Douglas, 9th Earl of Angus, died there in 1591. Its old towers, walled garden and wooden greenhouses suggest a place where power, household life and memory still overlap.
