Old Photograph Balbithan Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Balbithan Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle was sacked by Covenanters in 1640, and the Marquis of Montrose made the castle a rendezvous during the wars with the Covenanters in the 1640's. It provided a refuge for Jacobites after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The house had passed to the Hay family in 1690, but it was acquired by the Gordons early in the 18th Century, then Keith Earls of Kintore in 1859.
