Kinmuck Castle was a 14th-century castle, about 4.0 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at, or close to, Mains of Kinmuck.[1] Alternative names are Castle of Kinmuck, Carmuck Castle and Kermuck Castle.[2]
History
[edit]In 1413 the castle belonged to Thomas Kennedy, Constable of Aberdeen,[2] who dismantled it then to build the old Ellon Castle.
Structure
[edit]Only vague traces of a circular ditch enclosing an area 40 metres (130 ft) wide remain.[3] The ditch was filled in 1867.[2]
