Huntly Castle

Huntly Castle is a ruined castle near Huntly in the Grampian region of Scotland.

Originally named Strathbogie, the castle was granted to Sir Adam Gordon of Huntly in the 14th century. It was fired in 1452 by the Earl of Moray then extensively rebuilt by the first Earl of Huntly. The castle became known by its present name in 1506. Wings were added to the castle in the 16th and 17th centuries. It remained in the Gordon Clan until 1923.

Robert the Bruce was a guest of the castle in 1307 prior to his defeat of the Earl of Buchan. In 1496, the pretender to the English throne Perkin Warbrek was married to Catherine Gordon at Huntly Castle, an act witnessed by James IV. Captured by in 1644 by the Montrose forces, it served as a garrison for Hanoverian soldiers following the Jacobean uprising .

Architecturally the L plan castle consists of a well-preserved five-story tower with an adjoining great hall and supporting buildings. Areas of the original ornate facade and interior stonework remain. A mound in the grounds of the castle is all that remains of an earlier 12th century motte.

Today, the remains of the castle are cared for by Historic Scotland.
