English: Balfluig Castle Built in the late 16th century, this was the seat of a branch of the Forbes clan which was the pricipal clan in the Howe of Alford, but was sold to a Farquharson in 1753. Local tradition apparently relates that at one time there was another castle near enough for the respective lairds to shoot at one another from their windows, until one laird killed the other, regretting the deed for the rest of his life.
