Inverallochy Castle

[1] It lies 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of Cairnbulg Castle, near Fraserburgh, and formerly stood beside the now-drained Loch of Inverallochy.

[1] It was described by W. Douglas Simpson as one of the nine castles of the Knuckle, referring to the rocky headland of North-East Aberdeenshire.

Evidence of a larger outer courtyard measuring approximately 60 metres (200 ft) square to the north and east remains.

The castle appears to have all been built at once, and architectural evidence suggests an early 16th-century date.

It may have been the work of Sir William Comyn (or Cumyng)[1] of Inverallochy, who was Lord Lyon in 1512–1519.
