Lickleyhead Castle

It remained in that family until, in 1625, Patrick Leith sold it to William Forbes of Leslie, who is thought to have restored the main element of the building, perhaps with the help of John Bell of Aberdeen.

[4] Don Guillermo de Landa y Escandon, the Governor of Mexico City, purchased the castle for his daughter Maria Luiz in 1922 when she married a Leslie.

[8] The main block of the castle lies east to west, with the wing providing cover over two faces by jutting out southward.

[1] In the main block, there are corbelled two-storey turrets on the north front, the upper floors having oval windows.

[1] There is a vaulted basement, with a kitchen and cellar, lit by slit windows; this is accessed by the entrance in the main re-entrant angle to the south.
