<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aldourie Castle originally dates to the 1600’s,<br />
when it was notably smaller than it is now.<br />
In the 1860’s William Fraser-Tytler extended the building<br />
and added features to enhance its appearance as a<br />
 traditional 17th. Century, Baronial Scottish Castle.<br />
Stepped gables, coned turrets, a balustraded round tower,<br />
oriel windows, corbels, gun loops and <br />
scroll-sided, steeply pedimented dormers.<br />
In 2015, the Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povisen<br />
bought the castle for 15 million pounds.<br />
It was part of his portfolio of 12 Scottish Estates,<br />
making him the largest landowner in Scotland.<br />
His additions have been extensive and of the highest quality.<br />
The loch-side garden was developed with a central lawn,<br />
with adjacent flower borders and criss-cross paths.<br />
Many sculpted Beech trees give<br />
an impressive architectural formality to the view down the lawn.<br />
Across the narrow section of Loch Ness,<br />
the south-facing slopes of the Great Glen<br />
are resplendent with golden gorse, forest,<br />
heather and rocky summits.<br />
He added a 1.5-million-pound boathouse,<br />
in the shape of an inverted boat.<br />
A kitchen garden was re-established and the <br />
100-acre estate is blessed with a profusion of<br />
mature trees including pine, oak and sweet chestnut.<br />
His pièce de la resistance is an amazing suspension bridge,<br />
anchored by dressed stonework, across a <br />
burn and valley, to the east of the castle.</p>
