Balintore Castle, Scotland


Balintore Castle, Scotland..

The castle occupies an elevated site in moorland above Balintore village, a few miles north of the Loch of Lintrathen, near Kirriemuir, Angus. A tower house named Balintor existed on the site in the late 16th century, according to Timothy Pont's maps..

It was designed in 1859 by the architect William Burn. A typical example of the Scottish Baronial style, it features an abundance of turreted towers and gables, and an imitation portcullis. The main tower is topped by a balustraded viewing platform similar to that of Buchanan Castle...

  2. Sorry, but this is not Balintore Castle, Scotland - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balintore_Castle - but the Boldt Castle Powerhouse at Boldt Castle in the 1,000 Islands region of New York on the St. Lawrence River near Alexandria Bay. http://www.boldtcastle.com/visitorinfo/index.php/virtual-tour/the-castle/ - also google Boldt Castle powerhouse and Balintore Castle for additional pictures of each one.
