Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in a garden at Inverquharity Castle on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. In 1420 the lands of Inverquharity were acquired by the Ogilvy family. In 1440 Alexander Ogilvy, 2nd Lord Inverquharity, built the original rectangular stone tower house. In 1446, a fierce local dispute with the Lindsays of nearby Finavon Castle culminates in the bloody Battle of Arbroath, resulting in Alexander Ogilvy's death. In the 16th century the castle was expanded into a larger, four storey L-plan structure with the addition of a new wing. In 1626 the family line received a Nova Scotia baronetcy under King Charles I. The castle stands out as one of the finest and most complete examples of medieval baronial architecture in Angus. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
