Aboyne Castle
Aboyne Castle (historical name: castrum de Obeyn;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aboyne Castle )〕 alternate names: Castle Of Aboyne or Aboyne Castle Policies; also Bonty Castle or Bunty Castle) is a 13th-century〔 castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland north〔 of the town of Aboyne (Grid Reference NO5299).〔United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map, 1:50,000 Series〕 The location of Aboyne Castle was selected for its strategic position near the River Dee and controlling the northern end of one of the Mounth crossings.〔Simpson, W. Douglas. ''The Early Castles of Mar'', Proceedings of the Society: 102, 10 December 1928〕〔Hogan, C. Michael. ''Elsick Mounth'', The Megalithic Portal, ed. A. Burnham (2007)()〕 Aboyne Castle was formerly derelict,〔 but was restored by the present Marquess of Huntly in 1979.
==Architecture==
The castle was constructed by Bysets, Lords of Strathdee and Aboyne before 1233 as a motte-and-bailey. Edward I sent instructions for its fortification in 1307.〔 It was later turned into a stone keep. in 1671, the west wing was rebuilt as a tower house by Charles, first Earl of Aboyne, parts of which are still visible. A mansion house was added in 1701. An east wing was added in 1801. In 1869, kitchen improvements were made using granite and stepped gables. The Mansion House was updated in the 1880s by Sir Cunliffe Brooks by adding baronial-style ornamentation. George Truefitt did some restoration work in the later part of the 19th century. It was remodelled in 1986 by Ian Begg.〔
The structure is three-storey with basement and attic. The east elevation is symmetrical, while the north (entrance), south, and west are asymmetrical. A heraldic panel is located between the second and third windows of the north elevation, as is a decorative ironwork finial and a weather-cock finial. There is a baronial tower house, an angled tower to the northwest, a four-storey basement, and an attic tower to the north. The oldest section of the castle is the northwest which incorporates a balustrade atop a five-storey circular tower that is corbelled to square. This tower was replicated later at the northeast.〔 The castle is harled and lime washed. Eaves are course, there are several turrets,〔 a possible secret passageway, and a monk's room.〔
There are a number of small-pane windows, as well as a grey slate roof with tiled ridge. A doorway to the principal floor is reached by stone steps, and a small-pane glazed timber door is located to the right of the basement. Immediately to the north of the castle, there is a harled wall with an enclosed courtyard.〔
