| HUNTLY CASTLE (In Ruins) | Huntly Castle (In Ruins) | Dr. [Doctor] Shearer Torry St. Huntly William Watson Castle St. Huntly A Dunbar Bogie St. Huntly |
026 | The Castle, which is now in ruins evidently consists of two parts, the remains of the ancient castle of Strathbogie, and the present Huntly Castle. the former originally belonged to the ancient and powerful family of the Comyns. [Inserted note] It never belonged to the Comyns. Enough remains of the original edifice to indicate the imposing scale upon which it was designed, and the importance of its powerful owners. There is no direct or reliable date when it was built. It was demolished after the battle of Glenlivet in 1594; and the present Huntly Castle was built in 1602. It is a regular castellated building, erected evidently for warlike purposes. [Continued on page 127] |
