Buchanan Castle is a spooky ruin on the outskirts of Drymen. The castle was commissioned by James Graham, 4th Duke of Montrose, in the mid-1850s after the family’s home, Buchanan Auld House, was destroyed in a fire. The castle served as home to the family until 1925, when it was sold. It became a hotel for a short while and was used as a hospital in the Second World War. The roof was removed in 1954 to avoid paying tax on the property and a swift decline followed.

We were at the Castle yesterday (07/23/22). Unfortunately (understandably) it is completely fenced off and not accessible. If you still want to go in, you have to use a lot of criminal energy, and it is on the edge of a residential area close to several houses, and on private property also close to a residential building. But it's still bizarre and worth seeing.

You can no longer enter the grounds of this castle. You can see how nature has taken the castle back. We enjoyed our walk which had the castle on route. You can’t see much of the castle though.
