Federate, a ruined castle in New Deer parish, Aberdeenshire, 2 miles N of New Deer village. Surrounded partly by a fosse, partly by a morass, it was approachable only by a causeway and a drawbridge; formed an incomplete square, with great thickness of wall, and with the corners rounded off; and, dating from some period unknown to either record or tradition, is said to have been one of the last strongholds of the Jacobite forces after the battle of Killiecrankie.
