Clock tower at Dunrobin Castle

In the middle of the 19th century the castle was remodelled by Sir Charles Barry (architect for the Houses of Parliament in London) to change it from a fort to a house in the Scottish Baronial style (inspired by Queen Victoria's new residence at Balmoral). Much of Barry's interior was destroyed by a fire in 1915 and the interior today is mainly the work of Scottish architect, Sir Robert Lorimer, who altered the top of the main tower and clock tower at the north side of the building to the Scottish Renaissance style.
