Milltown of Rothiemay (Scottish Gaelic: ''Ràth a' Mhuigh'') is a small inland village, built mostly of granite, in the north-east of Scotland and is within the Moray council area bordering neighbouring Aberdeenshire across the river to the south-east. It is around north of Huntly, and east of Keith. It lies on the banks of the River Deveron, close to where it joins the River Isla, in the former county of Banffshire. The village has existed for several centuries. The 17th-century cartographer James Gordon (1617-1686) was from Rothiemay. It was the birthplace of James Ferguson FRS (1710–1776), instrument-maker and astronomer. More recently, BBC radio presenter James Naughtie was born and brought up in the village. Rothiemay Castle, partly dating from the 15th century, was rebuilt as a baronial country house in 1788, by James Duff, 2nd Earl Fife. The castle was demolished in 1963.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rothiemay Castle )〕 The village has its own primary school,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rothiemay Primary School )〕 and formerly had a railway station by the River Deveron miles from the village. Almost all trace of the station has been lost although trains still operate on the Keith to Huntly mainline. ==References== *(【引用サイトリンク】title=Milltown of Rothiemay ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milltown of Rothiemay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
