Farquharson Clan's Scenic Braemar Castle Jigsaw Puzzle

This challenging puzzle offers a serene scene of grazing sheep and mountain view along with a castle long associated with the Farquharson clan. Braemar Castle, located near the village of Braemar in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is owned by the chief of Clan Farquharson. The site is leased to a charitable foundation which opens it to the public under the management of the community of Braemar. The castle was built in 1628 by John Erskine, Earl of Mar, a supporter of William and Mary. It became a casualty of the Jacobite uprisings. The structure was burnt out by John Farquharson of Inverey, the ‘Black Colonel’, who was a staunch Jacobite. It was left a ruin until 1748, then garrisoned troops, before being restored as a home and reoccupied in the early 19th century by the Farquharsons.
