Edzell castle

Edzell Castle is a ruined 16th century castle, within an early 17th century walled garden, located 5 miles north of Brechin, in Angus. The castle saw little military action and was in its design, construction, and use, more of a country house than a defensive structure. It was briefly occupied by English troops during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. It was given into state care in the 1930s, and is now a visitor attraction run by Historic Scotland.

The castle consists of the original tower house and building around a courtyard. The formal Renaissance walled garden designed and constructed in 1604, incorporating intricate relief carvings, is unique in Scotland.
