054 | The exact site of this castle is not Known, but it is thought to have stood on the Bass. The field in which the Bass stands is called Castle Yards still, and gives grounds for this supposition. "A castle of Inverury seems to have existed at a very early period as we read of its Constable in 1180: not improbably it was a wooden structure on the Bass." Extract from Chalmers Caledonia Vol I. |

Parish of Inverury
N.B. I do not think the "Little Bass" to be artificial, and it may very probably be a "Mote-Hill" - considering its position and nature.
