Having escaped alterations made to the great houses in the nineteenth century, Kellie Castle - which dates from 1150 - flourishes intact as part of The National Trust of Scotland.
The arts and crafts garden is well cared for and remains a great house to tour, a place for artists to create and musicians to play.
The garden cottage where fruit & veg is harvested each Tuesday.
It's magnificent plaster ceilings were designed by Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer, son of Professor James Allan Lorimer, a prominent Edinburgh University Professor of Public and International Law as a holiday home for his wife Hannah, and their six children - James, John Henry, Hannah, Alice, Louise and Robert.
The brilliant drawing room kept much the way it was when the Lorimer family lived there.
