<dc:title>Ballone Castle</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Ballone Castle was built in 1590 on the cliff edge above the raised beach, and has dramatic views out across the Moray Firth. The Dunbars from Morayshire built the original Z plan castle which was extended in 1623 by the MacKenzies to create a brew house and bakery. After the 1745 rebellion, it was soon roofless and by the mid-19th century had lost most of its fine details.It was bought in 1990 by Lachlan and Annie Stewart who set about restoring it as their family home, creating a fusion of authentic medieval with ANTA's 21st century Scottish contemporary aesthetic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There will be guided tours every 40 minutes which don't need to be booked in advance. The gardens will also be open.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information, visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anta.co.uk&quot;&gt;www.anta.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; or call 01862 832477.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;email: sales@anta.co.uk&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
