Towie Barclay Castle is described as an L-plan tower house, but most people would say it's a castle.
It's got all the features, the thick walls, the shot holes, the gun loops.
Everything you want in a castle is here.
We're very blessed with a magnificent arched front doorway.
And if you look up, just when you come in the door, you see a boss in the center with the Barclay coat of arms, which is fantastic that it survived all these years as the building sat empty for 200 years before we came along.
My husband and I bought Towie Barclay in 1972 for £4,000, and it was every penny we had.
The castle was completely overgrown.
You couldn't find the front door because of the undergrowth, but we were determined from day one, and worked our way through the first phase of the restoration, which was the ground floor and the first floor.
Everything was a challenge, every single thing.
First of all, one of the worst jobs was chipping off cement that was plastered onto the entrance hallway walls.
