Crathes Castle Policies

Structure (period Unassigned)

Why this matters

Crathes Castle Policies are associated with Crathes Castle, which was built in the late 15th century by the Gordon family, later Earls and then Marquesses of Huntly. The policies, or surrounding lands, were historically significant as part of the extensive estate managed by this powerful Highland clan, reflecting their influence in Aberdeenshire.
