<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The grounds</strong></span></div><br/>Achnagairn Castle is a privately owned manor built in the 17th century. It lies on a 30 acre (.125 square KM) almost perfectly squared estate. It is bordered on the northeast by the town of Kirkhill, and on the southeast and southwestwest sides by large agricultural fields owned and operated by the MacKinlay group. There is a public road running along the northwest side of the estate that connects Kirkhill to the motorway. The main gate to the estate lies on this road, while there is a second private road running south from the manor through the forest south, to connect with the motorway there. From the main gate it is roughly 650 feet (200 meters) to the main house. Most of the estate is covered in woodland, which the family uses for horsebackriding and walks, as well as privacy. It also contains a small lake which is often used to swim or fish.<br/><br/>The centre 5 acres contain the main building, the gardens, the swimming pool, the tennis court and the swimming pool, as well as a smaller house which is used as a nursery for the children. The estate is staffed by a crew of roughly 40, mostly people whose family has worked for the MacKinlay for generations. They are paid more than generously for their service, and above all for their discretion. The staff is incredibly loyal and the MacKinlays trust their staff. They do everything in their power to quash the rumours that indiscreet servants disappear without trace.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Main House</strong></span></div><br/>Achnagairn Castle has everything you'd expect of a modern castle. A ballroom, a dining hall  and a large kitchen occupy the rear left wing of the house. The rear is filled with staff quarters. Bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas making sure the servants want for nothing.  The right wing of the house is designed for temporary guest accomodations which are really only used when the extended family gatherings take place. The front wing is where the family lives. It has the family room, a smaller intimate private dining room, a library, a workout room with a smaller indoor pool and a sauna, and of course, on the first floor it has eleven bedrooms and six bathrooms.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The nursery</strong></span></div>The MacKinlay's children are taken care of by a large team of professional child minders. Not that the parents don't busy themselves with the kids, in fact they spend as much time with them as they can, but the staff is there 24/7. The Nursery is a smaller building, just off the main complex which is completely designed around children and their carers. It contains twelve bedrooms for the children, six for staff, a television room, a kitchen, playrooms for the smallest, and a large indoor playground for the slightly older kids. The children stay here until they are sixteen, when they move into a bedroom in the main house.<br/><br/>
