In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Gordon Castle like this:
Gordon Castle, seat of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, Bellie par., on border of Banff and Elgin, near right bank of river Spey, in N. vicinity of Fochabers; stands in a beautifully wooded deer park of 1300 ac.; the ancient tower of the earls and marquises of Huntly (1449-1684), in their time called Bog of Gight Castle, rises behind the modern mansion.
Gordon Castle is now part of MORAY Council. Click here for graphs and data of how MORAY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gordon Castle itself, go to Statistics.
