Hallforest Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The castle is believed to have been built by Robert the Bruce as a hunting lodge; he is said to have granted it to Robert II Keith, Marischal of Scotland, the predecessor of the Earls of Kintore.[2] Mary, Queen of Scots visited Hallforrest in 1562.[2]
The castle was frequently attacked during the 17th-century wars.[1] It may have been abandoned shortly afterward, although it remains the property of the Earls of Kintore.[1]
