Day 4, July 5th More Braemar Castle Rooms

The Four-Poster Bedroom on the third floor is notable for the semi-circular closets which occupy the lowest level of two of the corner turrets. Against the wall stands a Queen Anne tallboy and Hepplewhite Chairs covered with deer skin from the Invercauld Estates.

Ceramic Hot Water Bottles are seen in almost every bedroom in this castle. (I had to ask what they were! I’d never seen them before.)

The Four-Poster Bedroom is the only public-access room on the third floor.
I suspect that the other third floor rooms are barred from the public because
they are where the Farqarsons of Invercauld stay when they visit.

On the fourth floor are the “Ladies Guest Bedroom” …
the “Gentleman’s Guest Bedroom” (rather smaller than the ladies!) …
and the “Principal Bedroom.” These were all gorgeous, but I didn’t scan pix of them.

From the fourth floor, you return to the first floor. These Moccasins are part of an impressive collection of Canadian Indian objects from the great lakes region. This collection can be seen in the Morning Room.

Next … You go down the “service stairs” and onto the “ground floor.”

The old vaulted kitchen is here. Then, there are several rooms (once storage rooms?) that have been converted into museum-like displays of various COLLECTIONS that have been gathered by the Farquharson family over the years. Here are just a FEW of these rooms!

The Military Room Highland uniforms and weapons.

The Costume Room Women’s fashions from various centuries and countries.

The Toy Room Children’s toys and playthings from various centuries and countries.

Lastly,before leaving Braemar Castle, you can peer down into the Old Laird’s Pit An iron grille in the floor is the only access into this “traditional” 17th century “dungeon.” A dark hole beneath the floor, it is 12 feet by 6 feet, unlit, and only ventilated through the grille that is its entry.
