Hatton Castle, Aberdeenshire

Hatton Castle is almost three miles (4.8 km) south-east of Turriff, Aberdeenshire in the north-east of Scotland.

In the early 14th century Robert the Bruce granted the lands, then known as Loscraigie, to Patrick de Monte Alto.

[4] Purchased by Alexander Duff of Hatton in 1709 – although the contracts were not finalised until 1729[4] – ownership remained with members of the family into the 21st century.

Construction of the present castellated mansion began in 1812 and was completed by 1814;[5] it was at this time the name was changed to Hatton Castle.

[6] There is also a late-18th-century coach house, rectangular in form, and a square home farm designed by W Leslie in 1828.
