Remote, iconic castle restored as it would have been in the 18th century.
Corgarff Castle的点评
点评：This isn’t a large property with audio visual displays, gift shops and cafes and in some ways that makes the visit more ‘real’, with a better feel for how it would have been in the 18th century, with a garrison of redcoats. This is also reflected in the entry price. This property is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and admission was free to us as members. Definitely worthwhile joining as it allows free access to Edinburgh, Stirling and Urquhart Castles as well as loads of others and you get half price entry to English Heritage properties in your first year of membership, after which it’s free. Corgarff is unusual in its star-shaped outer wall design, which was added to the original tower, and its location is just stunning, particularly when it first comes into view in winter, surrounded by snow, as you head along the A939 – an image that is found on many a calendar. The history of the castle is rich in Jacobites and whisky production (legal and illicit) and has links to Craigievar Castle, which we had visited the previous day. There is a small car park just off the A939 at Cock Bridge after which you need to walk steeply uphill on a short track to actually get to the castle. It’s been restored, with rooms laid out as they would originally have been when there was a garrison, and there was access to 4 floors during this visit, including the basement, as well as an outhouse. Story boards tell the history of the castle. There’s not a huge amount to see compared to other castles and the visit was comfortably concluded within an hour. One of the highlights to watch out for is the swifts who nest on the top of windows. The castle is only open until the end of September each year and you should be aware that there are no toilet facilities. Definitely worth stopping for though, particularly if you’re a Scottish history buff. I got the guidebook, which was interesting to dip into afterwards and learn a bit more about the history.
翻译：这不是一座大型建筑，没有视听展示、礼品店和咖啡馆，但在某些方面，这让参观更加“真实”，让人更好地感受到 18 世纪的英国红衣军驻军。这也反映在门票价格上。该建筑由苏格兰历史环境局负责管理，我们作为会员可以免费入场。绝对值得加入，因为可以免费进入爱丁堡、斯特灵和厄克特城堡以及其他许多城堡，并且在成为会员的第一年，您可以半价进入英国遗产建筑，之后免费。Corgarff 的独特之处在于其星形外墙设计，这是在原始塔楼上添加的，它的位置令人惊叹，尤其是在冬天，当您沿着 A939 公路行驶时，它被白雪环绕，第一次映入眼帘——许多日历上都有这样的画面。这座城堡的历史与詹姆斯党和威士忌生产（合法和非法）息息相关，与我们前一天参观过的克雷格瓦城堡也有联系。在 A939 高速公路旁的 Cock Bridge 有一个小型停车场，之后您需要沿着一条短道陡峭地上坡才能到达城堡。城堡经过了修复，房间的布局与驻军时的布局相同，在这次参观期间可以进入 4 层楼，包括地下室和一间外屋。故事板讲述了城堡的历史。与其他城堡相比，这里可看的东西并不多，参观在一小时内就结束了。值得关注的亮点之一是筑巢在窗户顶部的雨燕。这座城堡每年只开放到 9 月底，您应该知道这里没有厕所设施。但绝对值得一看，特别是如果您是苏格兰历史爱好者。我拿到了这本旅游指南，事后仔细阅读并了解更多历史，非常有趣。
