| Kelly Castle (Continued) | 046 | [continued from page 37] The Castle of Kelly which stands upon a high rock that rises from the bed of the Elliot Water had been at one time a place of considerable strength and is a very ancient building. It is now uninhabited though it cannot be said to be in a state of ruin. Before it came into the possession of the Panmure family it belonged to the Irvines of Drum. These Irvines succeeded a family of the name of Ochterlony and according to tradition it was by one of the Ochterlonies a proprietor of Kelly that the ancient abbey of Arbroath was burned at some period prior to the Reformation. The only mansion house of note in the parish is the modern house of Kelly which stands near to the old Castle. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire page 333 [continued on page 39] |
