Hidden away, almost overgrown.
This is the former bishop's palace at Fetternear.
Built in the early 13th century.

"The building and estate was given to The Leslies of Balquain in 1566 in return for their services in protecting William Gordon, Bishop of Aberdeen and preventing the destruction and vandalization of the Cathedral at Aberdeen by the Reformers. In June 1566, the Bishop gave William Leslie, 9th Baron of Balquhain, Sheriff of Aberdeenshire, the Barony of Fetternear and all buildings and structures thereon, as well as numerous other lands.They lived there until the building was badly damaged by fire in 1919." (Aberdeenshire council)

I never knew it was there,
a short cycle ride away.
