Site history
Built16th century

Tillyhilt Castle was a 16th-century tower house 6.5 miles (10.5 km) west of Ellon, 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Tarves, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1]

The castle was owned by the Gordons. John Gordon acquired the land in 1575, and it is thought that the castle was built sometime after this date. The site is classified by Canmore as a medieval castle.[2]
