| BRAEMAR CASTLE | Braemar Castle Braemar Castle Braemar Castle Castle of Braemar |
William Brown Esq. Mr. Angus McIntosh Mr. John Morgan Fullarton's Gazetteer |
089 | *"On a little mount on the haugh of Castleton stands the modern Castle of Braemar. It was originally the property of Farquharson of Invercauld, and given to a second son of that family as his patrimony. About the end of Queen Mary's reign, these lands were excambed with the Earl of Màr for the lands of Monaltrie; and, soon after his succession to the estate, he built the present house. King William, after the Revolution, put some troops into it to keep the Country in awe; but the people sorely besieged the Garrison, obliged the troops to retire under favour of night; and to save themselves from such troublesome neighbours for the future, burnt the castle. In this state it continued till 1716, when the Mar Estates were forfeited. About 1720 Lords Dun and Grange purchased from the Government all the lands belonging to the Erskine family; and about 1730 John Farquharson bought the lands of Castleton from Lords Dun and Grange. About 1748, Mr. Farquharson gave a lease to the Government of the Castle and an inclosure of 41 acres of ground, for the space of 99 years, at £14.0.0 of yearly rent, upon which the house was repaired, a rampart built around it at the place occupied by a party of soldiers". It is now the property of Colonel Farquharson, but is sadly out of repair. |
