Statement of Interest

No 6 Castleton Terrace is one of the oldest surviving cottages in the village. Long and low, the building shows characteristic features of traditional construction methods of the area, such as granite rubble construction and gable stacks. The roof was originally thatched and is now slated. It retains its thackstanes. Although extended to the rear the street elevation of the cottage retains much historic character, remaining single storey without the addition of later dormers. The style of this building is in keeping with the tradition of Scottish vernacular architecture, and No 6, along with its pair at No 7, is a fine example of the very earliest buildings in Braemar. The characteristics which it displays were to be developed in later cottages as tourism caused the expansion of the village from the mid nineteenth century, the roots of the symmetrical facades of later buildings are clear in this building.

Formerly No 5 Castleton Terrace.
