Wedderburn Castle
The old Castle of Easter Powrie, or Wedderburn,
which stood a short distance N. [North] East of this, is
thought to have belonged to the ancient earls of
Angus, from whom the Earl of Airlie derives his
descent. Be this as it may, the Castle and
barony were long the property of a family of
the name of Ogilvy, from whom they passed,
soon after the year 1600, to Alexander Wedderburne,
ancestors of the Wedderburnes of Wedderburne
and Birkhill, and the Wedderburnes of Blackness,
Barts. [Baronets] The Castle has long been wholly erased

Wedderburn, which is nearly leveled with the
dust, is said, at a remote period, to have
been the residence of the Gilchrists, - the ancient
and powerful thanes of Angus.
