019.15 | "On the Farm of Castleton of Kincardine, belonging to Sir John Stuart Forbes of Pitsligo and Fettercairn, stand the ruins of the Castle or Royal Palace of Kincardine. This Castle either gave its name to the County or took its name from the County in which it is placed. There are no records stating the period when this Castle was built, or when it was last occupied. It was a royal palace previous to the death of Kenneth III in 994, for it was occupied by that monarch at the time of his murder by Finella. This palace or Castle seems to have been a place of considerable strength. A morass surrounded it, a great part of which has been drained within the last thirty years. It stands on the termination of a small ridge, at an elevation of about sixty or eighty feet above the adjoining meadows, and has a commanding view of the most beautiful part of the How o' the Mearns. It appears to have been of a quadrangular Shape, of which little now remains except the foundations of some of the walls, built with all the solidity common in former ages. It was in Kincardine Palace, as Lord Hailes says (Note. [Volume] Vol 1 of his annals Page 293 3rd Edition) that John Baliol resigned his crown to Edward I of England July 2. 1296, and he quotes the records [continued on page 184] |
