The Parish Church, Crathie, and Braemar Castle, Scotland, 1900. The church at Crathie is used by the Royal Family when they are in residence at Balmoral. The construction of Braemar Castle was begun by John Erskine, 7th Earl of Mar, in 1628. It was attacked and burned in 1689, killing Erskine. The castle was left in ruins until it was rebuilt as the seat of the Farquharson clan from 1797.
