Calgary Castle, also known as Calgary House, is a 19th-century castellated Gothic mansion at Calgary on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. The mansion house was built in 1817 by Captain Alan MacAskill (1765-1828).
Calgary Castle was later owned by Colonel Eric and Elizabeth Mackenzie from 1948 until the 1970s and they planted over 150 species of rhododendron, azaleas and exotic plants and created the woodland garden which is still famous today.
