Morag.
Buchanan Castle, Drymen, Scotland
interesting info from Wikipedia - The old house was destroyed in a fire of 1850, and the duke commissioned William Burn to replace it.[1] Burn designed an extravagant manor in the Scottish baronial style, enclosing an L-plan tower in a clutch of turrets, bartizans and stepped gables. The Dukes remained at Buchanan until 1925, when it was sold. In the 1930s the house opened as a hotel and the golf course was established in the grounds. Plans for residential development on the estate were delayed by the outbreak of the Second World War, during which the house was requisitioned. It was used as a hospital during the war, with patients including Rudolf Hess, who was brought here after his flight to Scotland in 1941.[1] After the war the building served briefly as the Army School of Education. The roof was removed from the house in 1954 and outlying parts of the building were demolished
