Kildrummy Castle
Kildrummy Castle
There used to be a castle in Scotland called Kildrummy Castle. I did research on it and was surprised to find out that it was actually interesting. I found out that Kildrummy used to be owned by Robert the Bruce but went under siege and that lead to the death of many other Scottish people. In 1374 the castle’s heiress Isobel was taken and forced to marry Alexander Stewart who took Kildrummy and claimed the title Earl of Mar. Then it was taken over by James 1 in 1435 and became a royal castle until Elphinstone in 1507. Then it was abandoned in 1716. It then became the ruins of one of the most extensive castles in Scottish history. I thought that researching about it would be boring but it was actually intriguing and I hope other people enjoy learning about it as well.
