Gordon Castle

Gordon Castle is a country house located near Fochabers in the parish of Bellie in Moray, Scotland.

The six-storey medieval tower dates from 1498 and in the late 18th century it was incorporated into the centre of a huge Neoclassical house.

The castle was used as a military hospital during the First World War, and in 1954 all but the central tower and the east wing pavilion were demolished due to dry rot.

[1] An inventory of the contents from November 1648 mentions lavish beds and a "hen house", a parrot cage in the long gallery.

The central four-storey block incorporated a six-storey medieval tower called the Bog-of-Gight, and was flanked by a pair of two-storey wings.
