Castles are important to people who study Scottish history. The styles in which they have been built changed dramatically throughout the history of Scotland. The size of the lands of Clan Farquharson helped it gain the control of numerous castles and estates. Among these are Braemar Castle, Balmoral Castle, Invercauld House, and the remains of Kindrochit Castle. Another extremely famous castle, Glamis Castle, has been brought into relevance to the clan due to the fact that the Lyon family owned Glames.
