Castle of Park (Aberdeenshire)

Born in 1586, Sir Adam Gordon of Glenbuchat Castle succeeded to the Lairdship of Park in 1623, becoming the first Laird.

Sir John Gordon was created the 1st Baronet of Park on 15th August, 1686.

[1] Lady Posie Duff-Gordon (née Tennant) contracted tuberculosis and with her husband, Thomas Duff-Gordon, the 12th Laird of Park, two small children and a nanny from Elgin traveled to Hyères, Pietermaritzburg and finally Davos for a cure.

Her husband's brother Cosmo Duff-Gordon was best known for the controversy surrounding his escape from the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

The castle incorporated in the newer mansion is a Z-plan tower house,[1] dating from the 1563 rebuilding.
