Ruins of a 13th-century castle. The castle initially belonged to the Comyn, Earl of Buchan. However, in the 14th century, it was forfeited by the Comyns. As a gesture of appreciation for Sir Gilbert Hay's assistance against the English, Robert the Bruce granted the castle to him.

Don’t get confused with Slain’s Castle, which is further north :-) Very nice walk though!
