Old photograph of Aboyne Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle was constructed by Bysets, Lords of Strathdee and Aboyne before 1233. In 1242, after the expulsion from Scotland of John and Walter Byset, who had been alleged of the murder of Patrick, Earl of Atholl, at Haddington, East Lothian, Aboyne Castle fell to ownership of the Crown and became a favourite royal residence.
