Craigsbank Parish Church
description: This Sanctuary was designed in the 1960s by Sir William Kininmonth. Influenced by Le Corbusiers Chapel at Ronchamp, the Sanctuary has an illusion of floating above ground with its the striking square plan and plain white windowless exterior. The interior generates a sense of drama, interpreting the 'Covenanting Conventicle Church' by its hollowed-out form and surrounding sweeping terraces of seating. The innovative inverted clerestory perimeter allows the ceiling to float and filter in daylight into the balanced square worship plan, ultimately creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Craigston Castle
description: Craigston Castle is thought to belong to the Bell Group of Scottish castles, forming ??perhaps Scotland?s finest and the most distinctive contribution to western architecture? (H. Gordon Slade). The Urquhart family is one of the oldest in Scotland and can be traced back to Adam Urquhart the sheriff of Cromarty in 1357. However, according to the great?Sir Thomas Urquhart?(1611-1660) translator of Rabelais, the family can even be traced back to Adam and Eve through remarkable ancestors including Esormon Ourochartos (Prince of Achaia who married ?Narfesid, Sovereign of the Amazons) and Bithiah, the Pharaoh?s daughter who found Moses in the bulrushes. These fantastic claims are symptomatic of the family?s fondness for the romantic and the strange. Make the most of this fantastic opportunity to see inside the Category A listed, 5-storey Scottish Tower House not normally open to the public, ?on a guided tour by the castle owners.? Most of the castle can be visited, but the left tower is being renovated, and therefore closed to the public.? Guided tours will take place at 10am, 12pm and 2pm. ?(Tour lasts approx 1.5 hours) No advance booking required.?
