Craigston Castle, Turriff, Aberdeenshire is a historic home of the Urquhart family. It was built 1604-1607 by John Urquhart "of Craiginstray", known as the Tutor of Cromarty. It has suffered slightly from tasteless restoration and has lost its corner turrets of which only the sculptured bases remain; it is otherwise almost unspoiled and the fine arch connecting the two wings that flank the entrance, surmounted by a richly corbelled parapet, is one of the most perfect in Scotland. The wood carvings in the drawing room depict biblical themes.
