Old Travel Blog photograph of the Bass Of Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Bass of Inverurie is a natural mound about 50 feet high with a summit area of about 60 feet in diameter, converted to a motte by the scarping of its sides, and the excavation of a ditch around it and the Little Bass, which was the bailey. The ditch is now filled up but grave digging has shown it to have been about 10 feet wide and at least 8 feet deep. During an excavation in 1883 the remains of an oaken gangway up the south face of the motte were discovered. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland.
