Gordon Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

In the 1470s, George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly, raised a fortified tower called the Bog o’ Gight in the Forest of Enzie. It grew into one of Scotland’s largest houses, reaching over 170 metres of façade under the fourth duke in the late 18th century. War and decay took much of that grandeur, but the east wing and medieval tower still stand beside the greatest walled garden in Britain.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Gordon Castle as Country House (18th Century), Hospital (first World War). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Gordon Castle, a Scottish country house built in the 18th century, was later converted into a hospital during the First World War. It is remembered for its adaptation to serve military and medical needs during the conflict.
