Park Estate was originally part of the Royal Forest of Banff, and granted by King Alexander II to a Norman knight in 1242. It was transformed into a tower house in 1536 and further extensions and additions were made in the following centuries, including a gothic tower in 1829. It’s even said that Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland in the early 14th century, once stayed there. The purchase comes not only with the castle itself, but also 36 acres of land, a swimming pool, rose garden, an orchard, and croquet lawn.
