How is that a castle? It wouldnt be able to be fortified for any kind of seige. Just looks more like a mansion made of stone.

For anyone more knowledgeable in the subject, why isn't something like this preserved or renovated? Does someone own this peace of land and just not care for it; or would it be just too much financially? I'm curious how it got like this in the first place.
Sorry if this is naive, but it's interesting to see something like this in ruin.
Sorry, probably not more knowledgeable than you and perhaps just as naive. But I'd wager it's either a national landmark or it's too cost prohibitive to do much with. I'd imagine return on investment wouldn't pencil out.
Yeah, it was in use till surprisingly recently and nobody wants to spend the money to repair it.
I think Historic Scotland has a vague interest in it, so something might happen eventually
