Kenmure Castle

Kenmure Castle is a castle in Scotland that has a long and complex history. It was originally built in the Middle Ages and has been modified and expanded several times over the centuries. It was the seat of the Gordon family, and the castle has been associated with various notable figures throughout its history, including Mary, Queen of Scots and Sir John Gordon, who was made Viscount of Kenmure by Charles I in 1633. The castle was badly damaged during the Jacobite Rising of 1715 and was later extensively remodeled and modernized in the 19th century. Despite these renovations, the castle has been derelict since the mid-20th century and is now a scheduled monument.
