| BRUCKLAY CASTLE | Brucklay Castle Brucklay Castle Brucklaw |
Mr. Barclay Factor Pratts Hist: [History] of Buchan. New Stat: [Statistical] Account |
013 | A large and commodious building the property and residence of Mr Fordyce M.P. [Member of Parliament] for the County of Aberdeen. "It is not known by whom, or at what time the original portion of the Castle was built. It consisted of a round and rather high tower, forming a staircase with some small apartments opening onto it. There have been at least four additions made to the original building. The particulars of the first are unknown; the second was made by Mr. William Dingwall in 1765; the third by Mr John Dingwall in 1814; and the fourth by present proprietor. The earlier additions were made, chiefly with a view to increased accommodation; but the last with the same object, comprised the important design of converting [Initialled ] the whole building into the old Scottish Castellated Mansion, combining the grandeur of the middle ages with the elegance of the present. This has been successfully accomplished and Brucklay Castle is now one of the most magnificent edifices in the district. Pratt's Hist: [History] of Buchan |
