  • "A building with local and national historical interest" best describes Affleck Castle, Monikie, Angus.  There are linked pages - the first  "An Ancient Scottish Keep". The article is also available on this site, in French.  
    The second item about Affleck Castle is a reprint of a 1969 government information leaflet, and describes the castle in great detail, and contains floor-plans.
            Please note that the castle is not open to the public - ask the Scottish Government why not!
    Historic Scotland have been repeatedly asked to reply to a letter from the Webmaster but do not!
