About
Brechin Castle is a castle in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The castle was constructed in stone during the 13th century. Most of the current building dates to the early 18th century, when extensive reconstruction was carried out by architect Alexander Edward for James Maule, 4th Earl of Panmure, between approximately 1696 and 1709. The castle is a 37,748 square feet (3,506.9 m2) Category A listed building and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
Site of a royal castle from at least the 13th century — besieged by Edward I in 1296 and again in 1303 during the Wars of Independence. Passed to the Maule family and then to the Ramsays, Earls of Dalhousie. Extensively remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The grounds host the Brechin Castle Centre, a popular garden and retail attraction.
