Gordon Castle

Gordon Castle is a castle in the parish of Bellie, on the borders of Banffshire and Morayshire, near Fochabers. Historically known as the Bog-of-Gight, it was the principal seat of the Dukes of Gordon. Following 18th-century redevelopment, it became one of the largest country houses ever built north of the Forth, although much has since been demolished.

The castle buildings stand in Banffshire, but much of the estate, including the eight-acre walled garden and lake, lie in Morayshire. (Read more)
