Castle Grant

[1] The castle is a Category A listed building[2] and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

[1] The lands had been held by the Clan Comyn but passed to the Grants in the fifteenth century and it became their main stronghold.

The long gallery and the heads of the dormer windows were painted and gilded by John Anderson of Aberdeen.

[4] Although the Grants were Protestants, they joined James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose during the Scottish Civil War in the 1640s.

[6] Its sale to a development company the following year was somewhat of a surprise, with the Clan Grant Society having failed in a bid to buy it.

[11] It was sold in September 2014 to ex-CEO of the Russian Author Society, Sergey Fedotov,[11] who was later arrested for fraud.
