Nature has reclaimed a derelict castle once home to the head of Tennent's brewery - as stunning pictures reveal how trees, nettles, and bracken now engulf the estate.
Dunalastair House in the Perthshire town of Pitlochry, Scotland was built in 1859 by a local architect - but nearly 100 years later the once-majestic building fell into disuse.
Following a bout of vandalism in the 1960s opportunists stole the lead from the roof and the castle began to quickly fall into a state of decay.
It was a markedly different sight to the home as it was sold to Hugh Tennent in 1881 - the great-great grandson of the Wellpark Brewery founder - now known as Tennent's Brewery, which produces the best-selling beer in Scotland.
Come the mid-20th century, deer fences were being erected around the property to keep out trespassers. Today, however, the imposing structure has been protected from view by something else entirely: mother nature.
