This will be a project
that we'll follow where Phill will send us pictures as he progresses
through the building of his castle.
The Tower is being
built by Phill Plevey and Meryl Corker.
The Tower is being
built on 2 acres of land in a very seclude little Glen known as the
Den of Gask, Nr Turriff, Aberdeenshire. There was nothing on this
land when I started its a total new build of a copy of a 16th
Century Fortified Tower House.
Read the
story from Phill about the background to the project and progress to
date
This is what it will
look like when completed...
And now open in 2024

Scottish Castles and Fortified Tower Houses Then & Now
by Phillip Plevey
Discover 50 iconic
Scottish castles and fortified tower houses through time. This
unique collection pairs 18th and 19th-century steel engravings with
present-day photographs, capturing each structure as it was and as
it stands today — often from the same angle for a striking
comparison. Alongside these images, you’ll find a brief history of
each site and precise location details, offering a glimpse into
Scotland’s storied past and the architectural marvels that endure.
Photo taken on 17th January 2013, again
snow stopped progress. I hope by the end of 2013 I will be able to
send you a photo of the Finished Tower all harled and looking fine
and in all its glory!!
