Kinmuck Castle was a 14th-century castle, about 4.0 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at, or close to, Mains of Kinmuck.[1] Alternative names are Castle of Kinmuck, Carmuck Castle and Kermuck Castle.[2] Castle of Kinmuck is the locally accepted spelling.[2]
In 1413 the castle belonged to Thomas Kennedy, Constable of Aberdeen,[2] who dismantled it to build the old Ellon Castle.
