"Airthrey Castle was built around 1792 for Robert Haldane who commissioned the design by Robert Adam.
"Adam’s design was influenced by his knowledge of classical Italian landscapes as was the layout of the estate landscape completed by Thomas White in 1798."

Yes, it is rather fine, isn’t it?. The university campus was built on the grounds of the castle’s estate and I believe the castle itself functions as an admin building.

That’s an excellent composition and angle of view, Graham. Among other things, I like the way the green grass balances the blue sky, very pleasing, and then the building links them. The roadway adds a lot – the curve even echoes the curves in the tower. They should hire you.

Oooo, thanks so much for the testimonial 😉 I was just having a little evening wander around and chanced upon this fine building. It just called out to be photographed.
