Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox military installation Abergairn Castle is a ruined castle, dating from the 17th century, about one mile north of Ballater, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It is built on the top of an isolated kame,[2] at the north-east of the entrance to Glen Gairn.[3]

History

The castle was the property of the Farquharsons.[1] It was built in 1614, possibly as a hunting lodge.[4] The name is of Gaelic derivation, meaning "the confluence of the Gairn", indicating its location near the confluence of River Gairn and River Dee.[5]

Structure

Abergairn castle was a tower house of which little other than the basement remains.[1] It was small, probably having three or four storeys with a garret.[4]

The main tower survives only to a maximum height of 4 feet; a round tower to the north-west reaches to 10 feet.[4]
