Having a drive along "the snow road" since we've not been for ages, and one of our usual stop offs for a cuppa, Corgarff Viewpoint just past the Lecht. @smulligan529 @_lynnrafferty @cherylrafferty11 #scotland #snowroad #snowroads #corgarff #corgarffviewpoint
Nestled in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Corgarff Castle is a striking testament to Scottish history. Built around 1530 by the Elphinstone family and later leased to the Forbes of Towie, the castle witnessed dramatic events, including a tragic fire in 1571 at the hands of Adam Gordon of Auchindoun. In 1607, Alexander Forbes of Towie and his band, including the famed piper George McRobie, seized the castle in a daring raid, fortifying it with a colourful array of "Highland thieves and limmers." The castle changed hands – Earls, Marquises, and Jacobite hearts. Burned, rebuilt, and reborn. In 1748, the British government claimed it, transforming it into a barracks. Soldiers marched its halls, guarding the military road from Braemar Castle to Fort George until 1831, later serving to suppress illegal whisky distillation. Today, under Historic Environment Scotland's care, Corgarff Castle stands as a symbol of Scotland's cultural heritage, welcoming visitors to explore its historic halls and battlements. Designated as a scheduled ancient monument, it invites all to uncover its captivating history. _______ #fortheloveofscotland #castlesofscotland #aberdeenshire #visitabdn #yourscotland #corgarffcastle #yourcastles #explorescotland #scotlandshots #minveciviczazitku #cestounecestou #scotland #hiddenscotland #visitscotland #lovescotland #hradyazamky #burgenundschlösser #castillos #zamki #archaeology #scottishcastles #scotlandexplore #historicscotland #ordnancesurvey #ecosse #skotsko #schottland #escocia #corgarff #scotlandofcastles

Winter memories from the past, thanks Danny for this memory! “Around 40 years ago 1st Tarves Boys Brigade went skiing to the Lecht, we got caught in a blizzard whilst on the hills, then got stuck on the way back down to our accommodation in the Corgarff church hall, then a certain young lad set the lum on fire……but what a weekend forever in our memories Alex Main” 👍. #boysbrigade #memories #tarves #tarvesheritageproject #1stTarvesBoysBrigade #childhood #growingup #snow #winter #skiing #thelecht #lecht #lechtskicentre #corgarff #corgarffchurchhall #aberdeenshire #scotland

Castle Corgarff in Winter 🏰 You’ve seen our latest reel on this magical castle nestled away in the Cairngorms! We’ve loved seeing the reactions when we add the stills to the stories, We feel you deserve a post with a mixture of Camera and Drone pictures with a pinch of history😃. Planning a trip to the Cairngorms this winter? Why not add this to your list! The castle was built in the mid 16th century by the Forbes of Towie. In 1571 it was burned by their enemy, Adam Gordon of Auchindoun, resulting in the deaths of Lady Forbes, her children, and numerous others, and giving rise to the ballad Edom o Gordon. After the Jacobite risings of the 18th century, it was rebuilt as a barracks and a detachment of government troops were stationed there, on the military road from Braemar Castle to Fort George, Inverness. For 95 years, the Redcoats in the old tower patrolled Strathdon, hunting down Jacobite sympathisers. Latterly they helped the excisemen to stamp out the illegal production and smuggling of whisky. Military use continued as late as 1831, after which the tower served as a distillery and housed local workers. It remained part of the Delnadamph estate belonging to the Stockdale family until they passed the castle into state care in 1961 and gave the ownership of the castle to the Lonach Highland and Friendly Society.

Sometimes you turn to your right. October 21st 2023. When @riley_the_bruce and I were shooting the sunset at Corgarff Castle, I turned to my right and saw the sunset colors poking through a hole in the clouds. It was a great reminder of how lucky we were to be able to see such an unplanned sunset. #sunset #clouds #moody #powerpole #telephonepole #scottishsunset #corgarff #highlands #cairngorms #lucky #scotland #scottishhighlands #scottishsunset #throughtheclouds #explorescotland #scottishscenery #landscapephotography #travelphotography
Corgarff Castle at Sunset on October 21st, 2023. @riley_the_bruce and I were headed east and happen to be just past the Lecht Ski center in the Cairngorms, when we saw breaks in the clouds from tail end of Storm Babet. Knowing that Corgarff was close, with much enthusiasm told @riley_the_bruce to get back to the car knowing sunset was extremely close. We were given an epic and a very unplanned sunset. #corgarffcastle #corgarff #cairngorms #cairngormsnationalpark #scotland #sunset #scottishhighlands #scottishsunset #explorescotland #landscapephotography #travelphotography #castle #castles #castlesofinstagram #castlesofscotland

Had a little drive out to Goodbrand & Ross at Corgarff for a hot chocolate this afternoon (had marshmallows, cream AND a flake!! 😋). But the MOST exciting thing is we had sleet!

Strathdon was on BBC last night, (you might need a VPN if you are outside the UK) At around 18 minutes in, it gives a great view down to Corgarff castle, where Allanachs would have lived in neighbouring settlements in the 16th and 17th centuries, before migrating into neighbouring Glen Nochty.

Below is a very good example of the complexities and contradictions of studying the name 'Allanach'. It is January 1746 - the height of the Jacobite Rebellion. A daughter is born to Alexander Allanach called Jean but he calls himself and his daughter 'Stewart' on the register not 'Allanach'. He is also stated as a Protestant yet the name 'Stewart' would at that very moment be associated with the Catholic Bonnie Prince Charlie (Charles Edward Stewart). We also know that at least one Allanach fought at Culloden on the Jacobite side. Much more to come on the Stewart./ Stuart associations which I will try to post on shortly!

Saint Serf and the dragon. Inspired by the wonderful eileenbudd the Scottish storyteller who’s tells the tale of how the saint defeated a troublesome dragon with nothing more than his faith and wooden staff. I heard her story driving on the way up to this location in my childhood home of Strathdon. My brother Graeme played the part, did battle and won the day. . . . . . . . . #saintserf #dragon #strathdon #corgarff #garchory
