🔘Slains Castle🔘 ⚫It is a ruined castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. ⚫The core of the castle is a 16th-century tower house, built by the 9th Earl of Erroll. ⚫Slains Castle is associated with the author Bram Stoker, who was a regular visitor to nearby Cruden Bay between 1893 and 1910. ⚫The castle is mentioned in his locally-set novels, The Watter's Mou' and The Mystery of the Sea. It also provided the inspiration for Kyllion Castle in The Jewel of Seven Stars. ⚫Slains Castle is commonly linked with Dracula. It is likely that the castle provided a visual palette for Bram Stoker when he started writing the book in Cruden Bay. ⚫A distinctive room in Slains Castle, the octagonal hall, may be the source for the octagonal room in Dracula. ⚫Significant reconstruction of the castle has been carried out a number of times, lastly in 1837 when it was rebuilt as a Scots Baronial mansion. ⚫At one time it had three extensive gardens, but is now a roofless ruin. ⚫Plans to restore the castle have been on hold since 2009. It is a Historic Environment Scotland Category B listed building. 🌚FOLLOW me @ancient.scientist to enjoy more and more posts about our world's marvelous History.❤ 🚨🚨🇦🇱🇸🇴⬇⬇👇 📚🎧Listen to🎧 " Dracula " By: Bram Stoker🖋 📚just click the link in the bio to get the Book for free on Audible.🤑 📻with Audible free trial you get 1 audiobook and 2 Audible Originals choose any thing you like.(just sign-in with your Amazon account) 😍 .

NEWS SLAINS CASTLE 🏰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, which sits atop a coastal cliff next to the village of Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire. • The core of the castle was built by Francis Hay, Earl of Erroll, in the late 1590s. Some years earlier he had converted to Catholicism and subsequently supported a rebellion led by George Gordon, Earl of Huntly, which attempted to reverse the Scottish Reformation. The uprising failed, and in 1594, Hay was declared a traitor; this led to the the original residence of the Hay family, Old Slains Castle, being destroyed by King James VI as punishment! • Hay then fled the country but later returned in 1597 and made peace with the King. He recovered his estates but decided not to rebuild the old castle; instead he replaced it with a new one near the site of the old one, which we now know as New Slains Castle! • This new castle was regularly upgraded over the years, and in the first half of the 19th-century, it was almost completely rebuilt in the Scots Baronial style of architecture. • Irish author Bram Stoker spent time as a guest at New Slains Castle in the late 19th-century, and it turned out to be a great source of inspiration for him (in terms of setting) when writing his famous novel, ‘Dracula’. • New Slains remained occupied until 1916 when the 20th Earl of Erroll sold it to Sir John Ellerman, a wealthy shipowner. However, he ended up dismantling many parts of the castle (for financial reasons), including the roof which was removed in 1925. And today it sits as an abandoned ruin. • • • #visitscotland #bonniescotland #newslainscastle #visitabdn #crudenbay #slainscastle #bramstokersdracula #thisisscotland #scozia #ecosse #escocia #scotlandlover #scotlandtravel #schottland #unlimitedscotland #historicscotland #castlesofscotland #scottishcastles
