Шаблон:Use dmy dates Dumbreck Castle was a tower house, dating from the 16th century, around Шаблон:Convert west of Ellon, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1]

Alternative names were Drumbeck Castle and Mains Of Dumbreck.[2]

History

The property was owned by the Dumbreck family.[3] It passed to the Meldrum family who built the castle.[2]

Structure

None of the property remains. Architectural fragments have been built into farm buildings. The left hand part of a gun loop is built into the east-north-east gable of the farmhouse, while a carved fragment of stone is built into the north wall of the farm outbuilding to its east.[4]

For stylistic reasons it has been suggested that this was the work of Thomas Leper.[2]
