| List of castles in Scotland | This list of castles in
Scotland is a link page for any castle in Scotland. | The first castles
were built in Scotland in the 11th and 12th centuries, with the
introduction of Norman influence. These motte and bailey castles were
replaced with the first stone-built castles around 1200. By the late
14th century, the large curtain-walled castles had begun to give way to
more modest tower houses, vertical dwellings with less formidable
defences. This type of vertical house continued to be popular with
Scotland's landowning class through to the late 17th century, when
classical architecture made its first appearance in the country.
Meanwhile the advance of artillery pressed military engineers to devise
stronger fortifications for important royal strongholds. | In the late
18th century, medieval architecture was revived, and castle-style houses
were built once more. These "castles" had no defensive
capability, but drew on military and tower-house architecture for their
decorative detail. This trend culminated in the Scottish Baronial style
of the 19th century. | There have been well over two thousand castles in
Scotland, although many are known only through historical records. They
are found in all parts of the country, although tower houses and peel
towers are concentrated along the border with England, while the best
examples of larger Renaissance-era tower houses are clustered in the
north-east. |
