- Kinnard head Castle Lighthouse and Wine Cellar on a stormy day, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire,Scotland,UK. Kinnaird Head Castle and the adjacent Wine Tower are two of the best-preserved structures of the ancient “nine castles of the knuckle†situated along the Buchan coast. The 16th-century castle was built by the Frasers of Philorth to demonstrate dominance and power over their planned town of Fraserburgh. Falling out of fashion, the castle was sold to the Northern Lighthouse Board in 1787 to be converted into Scotland’s first mainland lighthouse, making Kinnaird Head unique among Scotland’s castles. As well as the tower itself, original features such as the old castle kitchens and elements of the grand hall can be seen by visitors. Discover the castle’s unique 450 year story of continual reinvention and survival from the castle, to lighthouse, to the museum. The adjacent Wine Tower is an ancient pre-reformation building steeped in mystery and curiosity, dramatically perched over the crashing waves. Visit the upper vaulted chamber of the Wine Tower to view seven preserved roof pendants, carved in stone, showing Fraser’s family connections and commitment to the faith.
