Airlie Castle (3)
The original 'Castle of Eroly', of which not much remains, was a fortress of considerable size and strength.  I guess it must have occupied the entire rectangular area taken up by the present buildings and its lawns.  All that remains of that great 15th century castle is a massive and lofty section of curtain wall at the east (far) end of the site and part of the north corner tower at its left end.  Better view later!  The gatehouse, built into the old curtain wall, was built later, in the 16th or early 17th century.  Everything else is late 18th century, but a pleasing sight nonetheless.
